First boiler was a solid fuel BB on council house upgrade (Worked for local council) tenants had a choice of solid fuel or gas, on the ruff parts of the estates they always had the Solid fuel one, so they could burn anything, usely floor boards from under stairs or beds were the first to go followed by doors or wooden fencing.

Mine was the Parkray solid fuel back boiler back in the 80's then we started fitting the Baxi Bermuda back boilers and fires. I still service a lot off the Bermudas now and they are still going strong 30yrs down the line. Don't make em like that anymore.

Glass fronted solid fuel boiler was the first full heating job I worked on from start to finish when I was aged 13 on school summer holidays.
Way back during the war.
Strangely I still remember some of the work and the customer.
