      Does anyone know anything about those great deco-style tile fireplaces that are so common in Dublin terraced houses. I guess they must have been put in in the 50s. They seem to be out of fashion at the moment because people seem to rip them out and throw them in skips but they are really beautifull some of them. Why were they so common, who made them, who designed them, is anybody collecting them?

      You are dead right. You see them all broken in skips all the time and it’s really foolish.
