This tiled wall of the pedestrian subway to Museum Railway station is located directly inside the station entrance that I featured yesterday. Mark Foy's is the name of the department store which was once located in building located above. This building was known as 'The Piazza' but is now known as the Downing Centre, which is used as a court house complex. The name has been retained for this subway and thankfully so has this beautiful tilework.

ReplyDeleteLove subways, the way they are part of the city but seperate at the same time. Little things like this sign is what gives them this alternative world quality.

Nice work Jim, and it seems like it's been well looked after.

ReplyDeleteI think that sign is just a wee bit more stylish than many modern, bolt on jobs!
ReplyDeleteNice picture.
