Thanks Ken for the information reference the introduction of chimneys into common homes in England, another very interesting tidbit of information that is good food for thought
It is a wonder that there wasn't more fires with the thatched roofs
You know It sort of run through my mind today when I seen an article about carbon monoxide poisoning from open burning fires, i wonder what the powers to be would think of the open fires used for a great number of years to cook and heat, it seems to me that there wasn't a great number of deaths from carbon monoxide through those years, but then I haven't seen any statistics either
I wonder how aware the people were from those years of the dangers from carbon monoxide poisoning or even if they were aware of the dangers
