A selection of other tile features in York
On the right is one of the two Pizza Hut restaurants in York
which have the company's distinctive tile mosaic.

On the left is the floor of a cafe/bar near the Guildhall.
Nearby is the "pseudo mosaic" doorway shown below.
It is made up of interlocking tiles which have been designed
to look like a mosaic of much smaller pieces. Because the imitation
tesserae are raised, they have worn down where they get most
traffic. The smaller photo shows the shape of the individual
tiles.

The building below left is the Law Courts on Clifford Street.
It looks to have a very nice tiled fireplace, and also a floor
mosaic with the city's coat of arms, which has been shamelessly
dug into to install a metal detector.
