Forgive me for this boring shot but: last night, while I was cycling on my way home, my attention was suddenly caught by the nothing-much-going-on-at-all-ness of this spot. These tiles seemed beautiful and worth photographing.
Today I'm nonplussed, I don't know why I thought it necessary to take this shot, but here it is. Sometimes the city startles you in ways which are hard to explain or even understand.
Four+ hours of The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevroniya tend to take their toll too.

There were two Victorian tile factories with kilns as well as coke, tar and brick kilns and an iron works at The Calcutts. Pottery was manufactured here from the early 1600's.
The Tile Museum was home to the Craven Dunnill factory, where decorative tiles were mass-produced from 1874 until just after the Second World War, Jackfield Tile Museum is the best surviving example of a purpose-built Victorian tile factory.
it was the Victorian tile factories of Maw and Company (1883) and Craven and Dunnill (1872) that really gave Jackfield a name. Both did highly decorative and glazed tiles, however what they call encaustic tiles were very popular and more difficult to make because it was a process of inlaying coloured clays into coloured tiles as they did in medieval times.
