Chelsea14Ian Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Like it.When we move in back in 1997.What is the fire now was not there.One day Marina and I knew at one time there would have been a fire place,so we one afternoon got a hammer and knocked out the area where a fire place would be.We then got this fire place a 're pro dated roughly late 1800s,early 1900s.Our house dates from 1901.We still have two other fire places in Nicola's and Alan's bedrooms.We also have other bits and bobs dating from when the house was built. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Yes absolutely lovely for the folk in the house looking at the fire but when you live next door and all that smoke is blowing your way I can assure you that it is anything but lovely. Thank goodness that our immediate neighbours now have got rid of their open fires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
