Abbey Road ceramic tiles

The last remaining relics from the seminal Abbey Road album cover. The legendary four black and white ceramic tiles reading “A,B,E and Y from the back cover of the Beatles album. In 1969 the wall was demolished to make way for a new estate, the current vendor, a resident of Abbey Road had been observing the destruction of the signage and the famous crossing. She was appalled to see one of the builders with a pick axe prising the tiles off of the wall and smashing them on the pavement. She was determined, being a huge fan of The Beatles, to obtain some souvenir from the builders indifference to the history they were destroying. Fortunately she was able to find four of the letters that she could piece together, the others were beyond saving. Taking the pieces back to her apartment , her father put the pieces back together and protected them with styrofoam and electric tape. These historic four tiles remain untouched in that state, saved for posterity. It is the first time they have been seen since the destruction of the Abbey Road signs in 1969.
