"F" is for "Fireplace" and today's photo shows the rather grand fireplace in the Mayor's Parlour inside Ashton's Town Hall.
The Mayor's Parlour is a plush room that is used by the Mayor for entertaining guests, including important visitors to the town, or humble citizens such as myself when I was part of a group invited by the Mayor.
The fire guard is embellished with Ashton's Coat of Arms.

Leo - the hearth where the coal is burnt is behind the fire guard with the Coat of Arms on it. You can see a handle at the top for lifting it aside.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - it is what you would call antique, as it was probably made when the Town Hall was opened in 1840.
What a lovely fireplace, great F ;)

Fireplace Grande! Indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI think it demonstrates perfectly the grandiose and confident ideas of the Victorians. Whilst the fireplace is not to my taste, being rather over the top, I must admit it's pretty impressive.
