The Manchester Tiles Letter T – Town Hall

Discover a magnificent Victorian gothic edifice captured in ceramic: our Manchester Town Hall tile celebrates the famous Alfred Waterhouse building finally opened in 1877. The elaborate finery of the interior details is matched by its soaring exterior splendour, and helps to make an interesting statement about the power of municipality.

Rendered in our distinctive hand-drawn style, our Manchester Town Hall T Tile looks to stamp that point home. As unfettered capitalism faced a city where byelaws and licences began to control many aspects of its citizens’ lives, the Town Hall in Albert Square has become a symbol of the emergence of a municipal socialism.

Each T Tile is designed here in Manchester, then handrolled and glazed in the UK’s ceramic heartland Stoke-on-Trent, before returning for artwork firing in local kilns. A fitting end for a quintessentially Mancunian statement.
