Asked before but no sound answer:

How were tiled fireplaces made? (as a production job - not DIY). Were the
tiles put in a mould and then the mould filled with concrete?

Do you mean tiled surrounds like ones you screw on over the fireplace with a
hole to the fire?
Since the one in our front room had a tile come off it looked like it was
just a slab of something tiled. IE the tile looked like any other tile and
there was no impression in the underlying materiel shaped like the under
side of the tile.
I guess that means at least ours was made and tiled afterwards. I'm sure
there were many ways to do it though, Why are you interested?

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.

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.

was waiting for the delivery of the fancy hospital bed etc.

Yep.

That is not proof that he is dead.

He may have stopped posting because he might have realised that he
nothing of value to post and is a ****.
