Description
I took this photo in The Black Country Living Museum which is a village preserved as it was around the early 1900's. People dress up in period costumes and tell you what life was like back then. The reason I took the photo was that my Grandmother used to have an identical fireplace in her home, where I was born in the 1940's. The fire warmed two little ovens on either side and the kettle boiled on the hob, She used to put a brick in the oven to get warm and then wrapped it in a towel to use as a hot water bottle. Those were the days.
