When the firebox was full of ashes you could flip the opening up and shove the ashes into a space below the fireplace. On the outside was was a door which allowed the ashes to be removed outside. It was one of my chores to empty the ashes when the box was full. I doubt very much that your green and white door served the same purpose but it gave me an excuse for recalling this little anecdote which I had not thought of in years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390386422182379201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-70810479605713688022010-12-13T14:52:13.936+11:002010-12-13T14:52:13.936+11:00This type of urban decay really appeals to me.

Some of the brickwork looks like it may have not been exposed to the weather for as long as the rest of the brickwork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-25995224994280667772010-12-13T11:11:33.249+11:002010-12-13T11:11:33.249+11:00An interesting relic from the past.An interesting relic from the past.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.com
