Beautiful shot! And as I think I've said before on your photos, I absolutely love the tiled roofs.
In Vermont, where I live, the roofing of choice until recent times was slate - which is initially viewed as grey but in reality is multi- colored - with various shades of blues, green, purples, etc.
We live in an old house with the original slate on one side of the peak and asphalt tiling on the other!
Hoping to re-tile with slate fairly soon.
What is most used in England now? When I lived there it was (brick?) tiles.
It depends where in England, on the price and quality of the construction, and whether or not it's in a conservation area. Both slate and clay tiles are still widely used, but on cheaper houses, concrete tiles are used, which aren't so pleasing. Larger and commercial buildings normally have flat roofs, which are even less so.
