Tile triumph as thousands visit Hall

More than 6000 visitors flocked to St George's Hall for a rare glimpse of its world famous Minton Tiles which were on display for two weeks from the 7th-22nd January.

Cabinet member for culture and tourism, Wendy Simon said: "Each time the floor is unveiled it attracts a huge response. It is a great chance for visitors to see this amazing display of craftsmanship. I would encourage anyone who hasn't yet seen the Minton Tiles to visit St Georges Hall and take the opportunity to see one of Britain's finest Victorian wonders."

The last time the tiles were displayed to the public was in 2009 and they are not expected to be on display again for another two years.
The floor consists of 30,000 hand crafted tiles, many depicting the world famous Liver Bird along with Neptune, sea nymphs, dolphins and tridents.
