    Default Victorian tiled floors that had been written off.

    Hi these are floors from contracts over the years most had been written off by either the client or the architect.
    not going to say anything much about them as the pics do it all. again my apologies if they are out of sequence but i'm sure that everyone can figure them out.
    Cheers Steve. the mosaic in sections came from the corn exchange in Manchester they were blown apart by an IRA bomb. not sure if i'm the only restorer who has worked on bomb damage mosaic's ? You done any G ?

    No, never, don't think I'd fancy it either, can't do floor work with a dicky knee and really have to create my own stuff. Then again I've never done any, so you never know, might love it. I really like small detailed work more and more, and making it all very tidy, so if enough time was allowed and I could work at the table only, well, it could be a different story.... Some gorgeous work there... well done, Steve
