Factory to produce Underground tiles
A Shropshire factory is working against the clock to produce 24,000 unique tiles for the London Underground.Craven Dunhill, which first opened at Jackfield in 1872, closed in the 1950s but restarted its ancient presses four years ago.
The company have now been asked to manufacture one-off tiles for the Borough and Kennington stations in London.
Craven Dunhill's production director, Adrian Blundell, is hoping as a result, the company will win more orders to produce tiles for refurbishments at 12 other stations.
