This Is My GlasgowI always love it when I get the chance to check out these rather gorgeous tenement tiles on Victoria Road on Glasgow.

Ben ToddBeautiful tiles! Being victorian I wonder if the paint under the lacquer contains arsenic.

@monkeyben @jvseem That question has been raised a few times. I think they were were mostly made after the arsenic green had been phased out in the mid-1860s. However, I've not had the guts to test this by licking a few broken tiles! 🙂
