Abstract
The original tiled facade of the booking office at Leicester Railway Station was removed to the Museum of Technology, Leicester. The tiles were faced up with a contact adhesive, hessian, and a timber frame. Once the tiles were faced, the bricks were removed from the back and the tiles were taken down in sections.
