news I came across a shed today, 8x6m, brick built, with a slate roof, and a
chimney! Not a boiler or wood burning stove type thing, but a
traditional
brick chimney. Any idea as to why someone would do that? It was
seperate
from the house, by a distance of about 8m.

Oh to be young....tee hee


I'm 43 you know! (Shakes walking stick)


Oh well you won't remember, like I do my mother boiling up in the washouse
to the rear of the tenement flat we lived in to do the weekly wash
......And I demolished hundreds of dangerous ones over the years before I
retired ........sand lime mortar ...they just fell down on their own not
much help required......


the good old days.....no washing machine....no 'fridge......town gas mantle
in the scullery ....stairhead cludgies ..........
