With the adjacent florist's display to the left one of the remaining former North Eastern Railway's tiled maps is seen at York station. Composed of sixty-four square white glazed ceramic tiles with a border of forty-eight moulded capping tiles they are still to be found at a number of stations throughout the northeast. They were manufactured by Craven, Dunnill & Co Ltd, and were installed in and around 1900 with nine remaining examples at Beverley, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Morpeth, Saltburn, Scarborough, Tynemouth, Whitby and here at York.
