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.

That was where they heated the water in a big tub called a copper to do
the laundry. As recently as the 1920s, apparently, as a house I lived in
had one, and my mum remembered using one. When washing machines and
domestic hot water arrived the coppers were removed but the chimneys
remained.

Ah, I knew about coppers (for taking a bath in), but I thought they were filled from kettles on stoves in the kitchen.

They ALSO seem to have removed parts of your brain, troll-feeding senile

That is correct, My old grans house had one and even when I was a kid in
Wandsworth the flat we had had one and we used to bath in a tin bath filled
from jugs from the copper.
It was great fun watching my parents trying to lift the tin bath to the
drain to tip the water away as well.

Sounds like a lot of hassle, I would have just walked to the nearest river to take a bath.

My bath is much too small and the bathroom is not big enough for a big
one and as I live in a semi rural area with tons of wood I have been
entertaining thoughts of an external bath hut with a wood burner water
heater,( need a "round tuit" )

Just take a cold bath, soap works in cold water.

Enthusiastic woodworkers often burn offcuts to keep their workshops
warmer in winter. Brick built stack is a bit OTT but if they are
building the rest out of bricks, they might choose to use all bricks.

This shed had a slate roof so was either very old, or as you say built by an enthusiast.

My 30 sqm workshop has a slate roof over concrete blocks clad with
timber mainly for appearance. No heating needed as it is very well
insulated and comfortable to work in all year round.
I think I fit into the "enthusiast" group too or maybe that is OCD?

How can insulation provide heat?

I provide the heat from manual work and several of the machines are 3hp
or so. It rarely drops below 10C over night.
My preferences would be for female company as it happens.
