Catalogue notes

This panel was one of forty tiles mounted on the exterior of the factory, thirty-two were mounted on the Fisherman's Road elevation, and a further eight in two columns around the corner, in 1963. It is believed this one comes from the latter eight panels and was purchased from the demolition company directly by the vendor.
