Description: White tiles line the wall with a blue pattern overlaid or painted depicting Windsor castle which is based upon the engraving by Wenceslaud Hollar (AD 1663). The castle and its grounds are labelled to allow those who cannot get into the grounds to see what is where. The blue tiles are simply painted, outlines of the buildings and trees. Around the border of the tiles is a chequered pattern, with either side showing a coat of arms and two larger designs of flowers and leaves. The only colour other than blue in the mosaic is the coat of arms of those who live in Windsor.
