Top is Sheffield Court, clue - look top left.

The bottom picture, well it's Semper's Mixed Fabric- later Ceramic Court in the background, Monti's "Veritas" in front of that, but what has happened to what must be the facade of the French/Foreign Court? Did they do this to make it the Tea Room?

Thanks! I would never have guessed the first one...

The second one is definitely Ceramic based like you say, though I don't think that's the Foreign Court in the foreground to the left. It looks like a continuation of the Ceramic Court and bares the same architecture on the corner. I'm also curious as to the big arch up high; can you find anymore exterior views to compare with what we already posted? Postcards of the Nave could come in handy for this kind of thing now that you've established, in your thread, the basic features--sometimes more--of all the Industrial Courts; we know what to look for... I suspect this could be an interior view or even looking across the Nave from the Birmingham Court? Do you have any exterior views of the Birmingham Court at all--even glimpes? The ones you posted show the facade from the inside, but still it did feature some distinctive metal work, so I doubt the photo was taken from there... plus the floorboard gaps run perpendicular to the Nave.

Again, thanks to Terry (nothing to be ashamed of I think his real name is John :)), the Industrial Courts are well established for the first time, but I wonder what other views can be found to build on the model we have simulated in our brains?
