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.
We're remodeling our bathroom. Amy picked the most expensive tile in the store I think at about $32 a sheet for the mosaic and $26/ea for the pencil molding. Should look nice though.

A tiled coffee table tht was for sale either on ebay or craigslist. I'd like to try to do one like this--haha!
Thought this was interesting.. the tile is obviously very old, probably 1890s at least, but the vitrolite that surrounds it is much newer! Amazing they didn't get rid of the tile when they put up the vitrolite.
I'm dating the tile based on it is nearly identical to the tile in the Mon. County Courthouse and I know how old that tile is.
finally we got to the tiling--the plumbing and prep was much more times consuming than we'd expected.

The former Power Station building dates from 1926.
In 1988, the building underwent rehabilitation works and was transformed into an Art Gallery.
