Tiling 'practice' area on the abandoned eastern platform.

With the eastern platform out of action for trains for so many years, TFL began to use it to test out signage designs and tiling methods, as well as lighting and poster glue for advertising.

The ads for DH Evans department store (now House of Fraser) in Oxford Street, Madame Tussaud’s and the London Planetarium dating back from the early 70s were visible on the tour.

Exhibits in the new Rievaulx Abbey Museum opened on the site in recent years and displaying various finds and sculptural fragments from the abbey church.

 

There are few monastic ruins as beautiful as Rievaulx, the idyllic rural setting and good preservation of so much of the Abbey complex leave it with few peers, amongst the most majestic and dramatic ruined abbeys in the country.

 

The earliest parts of the Abbey church date back to the Norman period and suggest an austere building in line with Cistercian practice, however only the nave survived a major rebuilding campaign in the 13th century and this too has since succumbed to the hand of history, leaving us instead with the remarkable Early English Gothic choir and transepts, the defining features of the Abbey today.

 

There are significant portions surviving of the monastic complex, the grandest being the 13th century refectory. The remote location of the Abbey in part accounts for its good state of preservation, much less has been quarried away by succeeding generations following the Dissolution.

 

A visit to the Abbey isn't complete without a visit to the small on-site museum that opened in recent years and contains various interesting finds from the abbey-church.

 

There is always something melancholy about our ruined abbeys and priories, even the more complete ones like this. It is impossible not to mourn something of its faded glory and the cruel deprivations of Henry VIII's reign, but enough remains to enjoy this architectural jewel.

Some tiles I found laying around a construction site.

Progress on my bathroom tiling project is the best Christmas present...years in the visualizing and two trips to Tubac's Cermic Tile shop buying sets of things, we finally laid it all out about two weeks ago on the floor, and have placed them on their respectivve squares on the wall, using digital images, too, to remember...Emerson has been a great sport about this meticulously slow approach.

the tiles said they

considered it a hidden blessing

to be here in the tunnel.

 

the tiles liked it in the dark;

where no one was watching.

in the tunnel,

 

they could learn french without

feeling silly about pronouncing

the words incorrectly.

 

they could slouch without

anyone telling them

 

to stand up straight.

they could cough

the car fumes right back into the

air with no one casting

an annoyed stare

at their lack of

environmental consciousness.

 

plus,

 

they said,

the tax assessments done on

residential property

located in tunnels

were extremely soft on their wallets.

Tunnel Tiles spread out across the wall,

soaking in the moody length of the tunnel.

 

Walkers wipe off the dust - passing by

and rubbing off the wall.

 

More than just casual observers..

these tiles have real soul

and revel in the funk blasted

by low cruising cars.

 

More bounce to the ounce,

reverbing off the walls.

 

Enjoy。

Some good news in the seemingly unending roadworks in the Old Carrollton neighborhood of New Orleans - new street name tiles on sidewalk corners, imitating the circa 1900 "Belgian" font. They look well done.
