The making of tiles and architectural faïence: the factory in which Pilkington Ware is made, 1909. 'An Old Art Revived. One of the most striking features of many buildings erected during the last few years has been the increasing use of glazed tiles for the facing of exteriors as well as for interior decoration. One cause of this has been the rapid deterioration of bricks and stone under the corrosive action of the smoke-laden atmosphere, a corrosion to which glazed tiles are impervious - while equally a deeper and more general appreciation of beauty has effected notable improvements in the decoration and appointment of the house...Messrs. Pilkington, in conjunction with Mr. Willlam Burton, established works at Clifton Junction, Manchester, in 1893, for the manufacture of tiles and architectural faience'. From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
