General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
riocaroni, I thought the same. It was one of my first thoughts when I saw the photo of the tiles.
No matter where those tiles are in Wigan, it is wonderful to know that some beautiful architecture/fittings/interior deco... are still with us and Wigan Council or some outside building company haven't (yet) wiped them off the face of the Earth.
Although James Davies states: "... with these tiles of C.1906.”, I would say that they are Victorian. Possibly, Albert liked the designs his mother introduced to him so much, he kept the production going!
Anyway, it really doesn't matter if they are Victorian or Edwardian, because they are almost 120 years old, they are beautiful, and they are still part of the interior deco of a shop in Wigan. GREAT!
An appreciative THANK YOU to James Davies and jo anne.
