Default Interesting asbestos use in 1930s house

Grunff wrote in message ...

Why would they do that? Why would anyone go to the trouble of lining one
wall with asbestos sheet, but line the adjacent wall with fibre board
(which is useless when it comes to fire resistance)?

Any thoughts/experiences/wisdom?


Not really. Asbestos was used in Victorian times though, asbestos
fluff was the standard incandescent stuff in gas fires before ceramic
knobbly plates took over.

I guess the real question is what to do about it.
