GREYHOUND VICTORIAN TILES #rebuildthegreyhound

I wondered about these a while ago as I'd seen pictures and loved them. I'm about to work on some sips fronts that needed some victorian tiles restored on the pilasters and i found this:

The company is called JW Restorations. The pictures were updated 8 months ago and from what I've seen look like they are in safe hands with these guys. It looks beautiful.

A sign to be hopeful?

That's it - the bloody building will just have to be rebuilt and all these masterpieces put in place. And forgot to say: I absolutely love the mural at the back too.

Seriously, there is no alternative now: it will be done, you'll see.
