No Brian - I am thinking back to the 1950's when we have open fires
and a proper tiled hearth and fireplace. Solid concrete and glazed
tiles.

When I was an apprentice heating engineer the company also made
fireplaces,
they were in quite a big way.
The shape of the fireplace is laid out on a bench using wood to
create a
mould. Tiles are placed in the mould, best side down. Mortar is then
poured
into the mould. The next day the fireplace is lifted off the bench and
grouted. Same with the hearth.
