The close itself is pretty special too…
A rather beautiful set of tiles from a tenement close in Pollokshields in Glasgow.

We love to see our archive used to illustrate points such as this. However, a wee credit is always appreciated.
When Glaswegians talk about a “close” it’s the common entry to a tenement flat and in the 1800s onwards they made them so beautiful- I lived up a close like this and tile work was stunning

Today I discovered a block of

#TubelinedTiles
. I don’t think I’ll ever stop being surprised by these ceramic treasures.

Just a massive thank you to all those who have followed, liked, shared & messaged over 2023. It has been a tough year personally, but the project has been a constant push to get out & photograph these rarely seen details.
Here’s to 2024!

Today marks 5yrs since this little project began. Was hoping we’d have the exhibition, to mark this. Sadly, as with all celebrations in lockdown, plans change.
To help celebrate with me, please share your favourite tenement find, tile tweet, or article. Let’s share the love!

This tiled map was uncovered somewhere in Glasgows city center, by a friend working on a renovation.
I’m hoping to get in & see them in person.

It appears our lovely friends
@LostGlasgow
&
@PastGlasgow
have had a run in with the content harvesting account, Glasgow Memories, on FB.
Thinking of the hours of research that goes into each post, taking it without credit, is theft.
We stand with those that do the work!

Is this vandalism with a total disregard for the venues listed building status?

Bad news according to Loop and Scoop the tiles at the Queens Cafe were “too damaged”- yes these tiles . Are they under there or are they not , perhaps someone can ask when getting their Churros my enquiries were not welcomed.

Recently found at Mikaku Glasgow during basement reservations. The owner plans to incorporate the discovery into the new space.
The map appears to have been created for Glasgow publishers, R. Gibson & Sons by The Nautilus Porcelain co, during the early 1900s.

Dear tile fans,
Would you like a book of select images from our archive? If it were to happen, it would be a limited run, so just looking to check interest. Give this tweet a like to let me know.
Thank you.

The 4th visit to this
#Clydebank
tenement, & still no luck getting in. Tempted to slide our socials under the door, & ask if a resident could help us gain access… or maybe put an ad in the
@clydebankpost
?
The window was tarnished but made the close look dreamy.

Due to personal issues, TnmntTiles had to take a bit of a back seat this year. So, I just want to thank anyone who helped support the project in 2022. From RTs, shoutouts & tags, to those who were patient & worked around my timetable, thank you.
I wish you all a wonderful 2023!

Good morning,
An apology to anyone who I’ve not responded to recently. Again my health has taken a turn. I’m hoping to get back to content collection, & engaging with you all soon.
Thank you for all your continued support, tags, shares & messages.

Discovered another pretty popular Instagram account (33K followers) has been using our images, edited with a filter, and without credit. I work pretty hard collecting content, and I’m very happy to share… just credit the photographer!

I’ve been given permission to go see & archive these beauties. The business is planning to incorporate them into the refurbishment. Very exciting.

Spotted this ceramic tile on Victoria road. It has details of the parrot of Pearsons stores.
Does anyone know why it’s there & who created the tile?

So it’s looking like the majority of original details have now been lost to the
#LoopAndScoop
redesign.
After much concern raised by the locals, it’s pretty sad to see.
Why not take a wander to
@GinesiIce
, on Victoria rd, during this wee
#Heatwave
?
Stunning

Wee update:
Inline with government guidelines, I’ve had to limit travelling around to collect images for our accounts for almost a year now. Just so you know, although new content maybe sparse, I am working away on some bits behind the scenes.
Be considerate & stay safe. TT.

5yrs on, & we’re unexpectedly on the move again. Will be a little distracted by the real world, but will attempt to monitor our pages as best as I can, & reply to any messages.
Thank you for your understanding & support, folks. Yer smashing.
Flat hunting isn’t the most pleasant activity, but it does give me access to more of these...

So we’ve officially hit over 10k follows, across our 3 platforms… This is a crazy benchmark for such a small project. I want to thank you all, as it couldn’t have happened without this community ongoing encouragement, contributions, and engagement.
Thank you so very much,
