An orgy of tile use. Can you name the ways?
🤔
The hip tiles with broken pieces pushed into the mortar under the end tile to
stop it from slumping. Tiled creasing forms a very elegant little corbels to
close out the end of the eaves where it turns up into the verge.
The verge itself is very nicely formed, highlighting the double overlap typical
of plain tiles. Not sure what to call the tiling of the chimney stack setback.
I’m rather partial to tumbling in brick courses in this situation, but tiles
seem appropriate here.
The there are the wall-hung tiles of the bay window. Not quite sure but I fancy
there is a special at the obtuse angle. I do like a bit of tile hanging on a
bay window. The coloration of these tiles is quite something, wouldn’t you say?
Hand made perhaps. You can’t beat the subtlety and warmth of a clay tile.
Could say a fair bit about the use of lead in this image but I think I’ll leave
it there. This little gem greets me half way down the ginnel on my way…
