Day 28 of the Olympic Torch Relay: Alnwick to Newcastle upon Tyne
Friday, June 15th, 2012It is day 28 of the Olympic Torch’s 70 day relay around the UK ahead of the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Today the torch is on its way from Alnwick to Newcastle upon Tyne, passing through various places on this route including; Morpeth, Blyth and Whitley Bay.
The rainy weather hasn’t prevented the crowds from enjoying this historic occasion as the many lined the streets to see torch bearers holding the famous Olympic torch.
Talking of the weather, it’s been a typical British summer so far. Don’t worry though because at Tiles Porcelain Ltd we have a range of high quality natural stone tiles which are perfect for outdoor areas, in rain or shine! We recommend travertine as a patio or pool surround and our rock cladding tiles (below) as a feature garden wall.




The tradition of the Olympic flame began in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the ancient Olympics. Most homes have a fireplace feature. Most domestic fires are electrical and provide interiors with immense character as well as warmth and comfort. Decorative tiles are a safe and stylish option for fireplace surrounds. At Tiles Porcelain we have a range of tiles which are well suited to these designs. Natural stone slate not only has a trendy rustic quality but is also resilient against heat. Another option for fireplace features is rock cladding. The rugged texture and natural look of Rock Panel cladding (left) is ideal for walls and can be used as part of either traditional or contemporary decors.
