Stoke old market hall

Tiling on old market entrance in Church Street, Stoke-on-Trent. This building is now used for the public library. sadly, this, and many other public buildings in the area have had the decorative architecture ruined by the application of brick acid to 'clean' them. The surface of these tiles has been badly damaged and they have lost their original lustre. This official vandalism is disgraceful and should never have been allowed to happen. Stoke Council should be ashamed!
