This building on Granby Street in Leicester dates from 1873. The upper storeys incorporate decoration in brick and stone with the buiding name in tiles. Sadly the street level has been greatly changed by a fast food takeaway business.

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway provided extensive opportunities for eating and drinking at Manchester Victoria Station. The glazed brick and terracotta with mosaic decoration and lettering still invites customers to the restaurant and bar. It dates from 1909 and is listed Grade II.

After demolition of the H & R Johnson - Richards tile works buildings in Connaught Street, Tunstall, all that remained was this tiled floor in a former office/reception area. What an excellent advert it must have been for the products of the business. All now gone as the area has been developed with the usual range of industrial sheds.

A plethora of glazed tiles on the frontage of the Red Lion Inn at Heckmondwike. The jutting-out section with the 'What's On' board over the window was originally a tripe shop!

Detail of the superb glazed tile exterior of the Lord Clyde in Southwark. The brewer Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co Ltd. was absorbed into Grand Metropolitan empire in 1971 and then merged with Watney Mann. This proved to be disastrouse for the brewery which closed in 1989. In 2010 the Truman brand was purchased by two London businessmen and in 2013 they opened a new brewery in Hackney Wick allowing Truman's beer to be stocked in a number of London pubs once again.
