Does anyone know where sells tiles for making a house name or sign

They are now illegal under the 2001 Bad Taste Act.

They might be, but making a house number visible seems to be a dying art.
At one time it would be large characters as part of a window above the
door. As would a house name, if it had one. Now most seem to be ashamed of
others being able to find their house easily. Especially postmen.

I believe it's actually illegal to not have your house number or name
displayed at your door.
