Floor show

The Minton tile floor in St George’s Hall in Liverpool is revealed again to the public. The handcrafted mosaic of more than 30,000 tiles depicts the Liver Birds, Roman god Neptune, sea nymphs, dolphins and tridents. Once the largest Minton pavement in the world, the floor was hidden in the 1860s to allow for events at the venue, but is uncovered every few years to be maintained. It will be open until April 19.
