I can't help thinking that these decorative porch tiles are lovely - and worth preserving. It's not unusual to see them in older houses in Stoke-on-Trent, though there are fewer as householders often pull them out nowadays; I saw these in Stanley Street in Tunstall, in a row of late Victorian houses.
Yes, the arrangement is a bit predictable, being all in patterns of squares and rectangles, but - can you imagine modern housing estates incorporating anything like so darned attractive as these? They just add... some style.

They're quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery few people pay attention to these... but some of the old handcrafted ones are especially pretty.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme day post for squares.
