The tiled panels were painted by Joyce ORDBROWN for the Ceramic Studio. The original Marseilles clay roof tiles have unfortunately been removed and replaced with IBR sheeting, badly installed. The low wooden picket fence on the street boundary has been removed and replaced with a weld mesh security fence.
