Tile works office range, now disused. 1869. By Charles Lynam
for Michael Daintry Hollins of the Minton Hollins Tile Company
Ltd.
Red brick with orange and red brick and stone dressings, and
enriched with tiled decoration. Slate hipped roof with various
truncated stacks, louvres and a stepped ridge parapet to right
of centre.
Two storeys, 27 bays. The prominent features of the facade are
an oriel window in the twelfth bay from the right, with tall
hipped roof in the French Renaissance style, and two
entrances, in the eighth and ninth bays from right.
The left is narrower than the standard width of a bay, the
right-hand, wider. Each has cast-iron lintels to pedestrian
and carriage entrance arches. All other bays have round-arched
windows to ground floor recessed in round arches with brick
dressings, stone key blocks and hoodmoulds, and tiled
tympana. Upper windows have moulded stone lintels with rosette
decoration. All bays divided by buttresses with moulded stone
weathering blocks at ground-floor and first-floor levels.

INTERIOR: main staircase to the offices on the first floor of
three-flight open-well type with cast-iron hand rail. Walls to the
stairwell formerly decorated with examples of Minton Hollins
tiles. This building was the main office range for the tile
works now largely demolished, and contained offices and board
room, showrooms and museum, as well as the rooms of the final
stage of production, including packing, storing and
warehousing space.
