Chimneys. There are loads of different types.
The Romans used chimneys when they built buildings to make bread. It would draw out the smoke caused by there primitive fire stoves. Around the 12th century AD chimneys started to appear all over the larger houses in Northern Europe. By the the time of the industrial revolution there were huge chimneys built for factories with large furnes that produced such thing as steel products or to expel steam from mills producing cloth.
Around Manchester it was said that it proved a mans worth if he sported an ornate type of chimney pot on top of his chimney stack. It soon become less desirable in the 60's when gas fires became the vogue. They were removed in the hundreds to be exported and collected by wealthy Americans who thought it their time to own some heritage. Chimneys would be capped off and slated over only to become major problems through condensation once double glazing was introduced in the 80's. Then as fashions change log burning stoves would become the in thing to install so back went on the pots.
During the Second World War Manchester got blitzed with the bombs and when it came round to have the buildings revamped the terracotta type of pot were the things to fit.
To-day it is a sad site for a good roofer to look over the skyline of Manchester and witness the missing pots off on the majority of houses.
