Description

Burmantofts Co produced decorative glazed terracotta relief tiles, art ceramics and faience architectural fittings, whose products were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Bedford Lemere daybook records A Whitehead as the architect or designer, and A W as the client for whom the photograph was taken, which probably refers to A Whitehead.
