Now and again we stumble across
something in our research where we think - "there must be more out
there" - sometimes more of what we have seen once or sometimes things
we assume must exist.
For example we assume there must be many more catalogues for Potttery and tiles than we have seen. We are curious as to why all the pottery catalogues say "5th edition" yet no earlier editions turn up.
We have seen many advertisements for Pilkington's tiles and pottery but there are probably many more we have not seen. Sometimes we find references to old tile schemes that may have been photographed locally and are now "lost" to study. For example:-
The Stockton Corn Exchange, the Bristol Stock Exchange, the York City and County Bank Barnsley, the Royal Insurance Offices Barnsley, Union Beckett Street Leeds ( a hospital we think?) , Dial House Leeds and many others.
We have written about the tile panels that used to be located in Liverpool museum but have only found 3 photographs of them "in situ".
If you have any old photographs or catalogues or just the unusual please let us know at :
In the mean time does any one know about these ? They are typical installations in Co-op stores c 1920 - are there any local to you?
