Hi Darren. There can be many different ways to do one single thing in 
POV. You might want to look for these items in the POV-Ray documentation:

warp: repeat, offset
crackle: solid
pigment_map

Also, here's one way to do it using the brick pattern. Good luck.

plane{y,0
  pigment{
   pigment_pattern{brick}
   pigment_map{
    [.5 bumps]
    [.5 crackle]
   }
  }
}

There us an excellent tutorial on creating realistic brick
patterns by Jeff Lee at
http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/raytrace/bricks.html

If you want something different, you can always build the
brinks individually. Gilles Tran ahs a couple of macros at
http://www.oyonale.com/ressources/english/sources02.htm that
could be useful.

Cheers,
Ian
