Cotton. Factory.

I picked these tiles up last year, they are propped up behind the kitchen hob (which looks black to me, the phone processor has toned it down to a lighter grey for some reason).

The maker is The Sculpts, a small Manchester ceramics operation. Manchester themed tiles are available for every letter of the alphabet. Here C for cotton, the foundation of the city’s wealth from the 19th century, and F for legendary Manchester record label Factory Records.
