More Information
The tiles are a rarely available selection of early Poole pottery with some interesting associated history. There is a strong possibility that the art potter William De Morgan may have collaborated with Owen Carter on these tiles . He worked with Carter and co at that time. Also it is a historical fact that a large number of the Titanic crew stayed in the building the night before their journey
