Edwardian Roof Tiles in Suffolk
Edwardian Roof Tiles
An Edwardian tile that has endured over time
It's not just Edwardian roof tiles that evoke the style of a bygone age, Edwardian floor tiles are also a fascinating part of architectural history. During the Edwardian era, which spanned from approximately 1901 to 1910, these tiles were extensively used on floors in homes, public buildings, and even more commercial spaces. Many prisons made good use of the Edwardian black and white tiles for their interior floor spaces. They are incredibly durable and many survive intact to this day.
Edwardian tiles were very versatile
Edwardian floor tiles were geometric ceramic tiles designed with versatility in mind. They came in various shapes, sizes, and colours. These Edwardian tiles allowed for an infinite array of designs, creating enchanting patterns that complemented and decorated many superb examples of Edwardian period architecture.
The natural palette of Edwardian tiles
Edwardian designs tended to favour a more organic and earthy colour palette that included shades such as red, brown, coffee, black, grey, and white. Unlike the more intricate and fussy Victorian patterns, Edwardian tiles used much larger tile sizes and more basic border patterns to frame the main tiled surface.
Edwardian tiles are practical and elegant
Interior Edwardian tiles are hard-wearing and practical, much like the Edwardian roof tiles. Edwardian floor tile schemes also aimed to impress visitors to the properties they were installed in. Their longevity and the fact that they are still present today speak volumes about the quality of both tile manufacture and skilled installation by the talented tradesmen of the Edwardian era.
Edwardian mosaic designs to inspire
Edwardian tiles were often used to create amazing and intricate mosaic patterns. They were used to great effect both inside and out. Although many favoured the classic black and white decorative mosaics, many other colour and pattern variations were used during the Edwardian period.
A little information about Suffolk
The geography of Suffolk
A good deal of Suffolk is low-lying, founded on Pleistocene sand and clays. These rocks are relatively unresistant and the coast is eroding quite rapidly. Coastal defences have been used to protect several towns, including Lowestoft, but several cliff-top houses have sadly been lost to coastal erosion and others are under serious threat of falling into the sea below. The continuing protection of the coastline and the estuaries, including the Blyth, Alde and Deben, has been, and remains, a matter of considerable discussion at local government level.
Lowestoft and Oulton Broad in Suffolk have both been hit repeatedly by flooding over the years.
The coastal strip to the East contains an area of heathland known as "The Sandlings" which runs almost the full length of the coastline. Suffolk is also home to nature reserves, such as the RSPB site at Minsmere, and Trimley Marshes, a wetland under the protection of Suffolk Wildlife Trust. The clay plateau inland, deeply intercut by rivers is often referred to as 'High Suffolk'.
The western part of Suffolk lies on more resistant Cretaceous chalk. This chalk is responsible for a sweeping tract of largely downland landscapes that stretches from Dorset in the south west to Dover in the south east and north through East Anglia to the Yorkshire Wolds. The chalk is less easily eroded so forms the only significant hills in the county. The highest point in Suffolk is Great Wood Hill, with an elevation of 420 feet. It is the highest point of the Newmarket Ridge and is near the villages of Rede and Chedburgh.
The oxlip was voted the County flower of Suffolk in 2002 following a poll by the wild plant conservation charity Plantlife.
