Second to only a roaring fire, the bathroom is arguably one of the most relaxing places in the home. Something as simple as a hot bath coupled with a steaming cuppa or a glass of wine and a few candles is an absolute dream come true after a long day!
Fireplaces through the ages have been essential for people in their daily lives and have had a range of uses. They have been used to cook food for centuries, as well as being used to provide warmth. The main use of fireplaces has evolved through the ages as new technologies have been invented. The invention of the cast iron stove, by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, began to revolutionise the way food was cooked and soon evolved into ways to heat water, which led to the introduction of central and hot water heating systems.
