You only begin to appreciate just how many fireplaces were required to keep old buildings, like Glasgow's Pollok House, warm when you start counting the chimneys. In this case, there's more than thirty. That's a lot of grates to be cleared of the previous day's ashes each morning before the fires could be re-set in time for the family getting up for breakfast.
