Lost Books

There was a fund-raising car boot sale at my son's school today so I used the opportunity to sneak inside and take some photos of the beautiful tiles in the oldest part of the building.
A new school is due to be built on the grounds in the coming years but it's not yet known what will happen to the existing school, part of which is listed, and which belongs to The Marist Order.

I do hope they are able to preserve some of this wonderful craftsmanship. Good shot in low light!! Like the title too!

Gorgeous tiles and a beautiful door. Love the composition,light and color. Very appropriate to have some well used books on the floor. V

Glad you took this shot, the old tiles are really fabulous, and the glass also. So sad to see this kind of workmanship go away.

That unmistakable feeling of a school really comes through in this lovely capture. I hope the building survives. V.

Beautiful architectural details. Sad to think they might be lost just like the books.
