London Underground 'pomegranate' ceramic tile from 1906/07 tube stations
The 1906 and '07 tube stations, on the Bakerloo, Northern and Piccadilly lines, built by the Underground Electric Railways of London group were designed by architect Leslie Green and they are noteworthy for their extensive use of ceramic tiling. The ticket hall interiors were in cream and green tiles and had a decorative, relief dado band - the vast majority of the halls used the acanthus tile - much rarer is the pomegranate version seen here.
