Tiles with style!
I don't think many of the modern tile outlets can compete with this old tile factory.
The office range of the grade II listed Victorian tile works belonging to Minton Hollins Limited (Mintons tiles) dating back to 1869, once occupying seven acres devoted to the production of encaustic tiles beside Shelton Old Road in Stoke-on-Trent.
The site was saved from demolition and was purchased by Caudwell Communications (of which Phones 4u was incorporated) in 1990, and is now used as offices for various companies.
Please see the link for more details, especially of the tile details around the windows on the far side of the entrance: www.thepotteries.org/tour/096.htm
