Hi – I stumbled across this extraordinary building earlier this year on a visit to see friends. Glad to see the building is being cared for, but not wishing to rain on anyone’s parade, why are they obliterating the original tiles under a layer of render? I know that making the place watertight is a priority and cost is no doubt the overriding factor, but it seems a shame to lose the bsicuit-coloured faience tiles, rather than remove them, clean them up and re-apply them on top of the new render as should have been the case, I think.
