The Tiles and Architectural Ceramics Society (TACS) has as one of its major aims the protection and conservation of tiles and architectural ceramics.<\/p>\n

To pursue this aim, it relies on members of the public bringing to its attention proposals for the demolition or radical alteration of buildings which have interesting tiles or other ceramic architectural features \u2013 whether inside or out.<\/p>\n

This information sheet is intended to help you take immediate steps to promote the conservation of any such building that you believe to be at risk. The advice applies equally to any tile panels located in public places, which you perceive to be under threat.<\/p>\n

As a small charitable society TACS is limited in what it can do to help but is committed to supporting local campaigns to save important historic tiles and terracotta wherever possible.<\/p>\n
