25th November 2006 until Summer 2007
1st Floor – Mezzanine Gallery
This is the first ever exhibition of the Harris’ fine
collection of decorative tiles which were used for walls, fireplaces
and floors in Victorian and Edwardian homes. Many of the
colourful patterns help to show how Islamic and Japanese cultures
influenced our domestic environment. Most of the tiles come from
the collection of Edgar F. Millington who was a fireplace maker in
Avenham Street, Preston.
