A building from this era in the UK would more likely have been heated by coal, not wood. Coal is a more efficient method of heating, but smells hideously and, of course, is a dangerous pollutant.

I just found this site, kudos to you Mr. Motts, and I have now got a new pasttime. I have seen some beautiful pictures and had some awesome feelings from them and I am only on the second set.
I just have to comment on the train in this picture. I used to work with developmentally disabled-back when they were called mentally retarded-and before asylums were closed they were home to many of these people. Years ago the powers that be, thought it was appropriate for dd people to play with toys since their mental age was usually that of a child. Now most companies that work for the dd population realize that they are actually being abusive to adults by giving them toys to play with. This is not to say that some toys are not educational for them, but just to hand them toys to occupy their time is unacceptable now.

Looks just like part of a nearby church where we used to Rennaisance dance. Only place I've ever been with purple windows.
