I'm doing a little research, and try as I might I can't find out very much about the tiling on the C&SLR. Photographs show that the original stations used white tiles with a dark waistband consisting of two solid lines above and below a fleur-de-lis design. A photo of King's Cross (one of the last stations built by the C&SLR) has just a single dark band, described as chocolate brown.
I have seen the fleur-de-lis design at Borough, King William Street, and possible Kennington; was this only used on the original 1890 stations? Did trackside walls get any decoration?
Can anyone point me towards any sources that would give me details of (i) the tile sizes, (ii) the tile manufacturer(s), (iii) any other details about the actual tiles, (iv) the colour of the waistbands, and (v) the designs used, and at which stations?
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
