Help!!

Been searching the web for about an hour and cannot find some plain red and Black victorian style tiles for a pathway. 150mm x 150mm. Any ideas where I can pick some up locally?

Thanks

Are you looking for Quarry Tiles ?
Google might be your best option or Ebay for some 2nd hand ones.

There used to be a building & materials reclaim place at Hindhead on the A3.

Yes, I'm looking for quarry tiles, Google was not great, and ebay did not have any when I looked last night.
I'll have a look at reclaim.. Thanks for the help

Maybe try a traditional builders merchants not the big group ones.
Try some of the ones around south london area.

Or tile suppliers may point you in the right direction.

Another way is to contact a building firm which carries out restoration work, they may have a contact.
Good luck.

It might be worth calling Shorts in South Ascot. We managed to get some old Stock Victorian red brick from them, reclaimed from a recent demolition.

There's a few reclamation yards in Reading i used when refurbishing my place.

I believe J Mould sells reclaimed victorian tiles - just off portman road between the bridges near where Reading festival runs.

Sorry I can't be more explicit smile
