On 7 September 2026, a lecture will explore the world of firebacks and chimney plates that have shaped our everyday life.
Blast furnace ironmaking producing cast iron has operated in our regions since the late 15th century. It notably produced these firebacks that adorned hearths and bear witness to centuries-old craftsmanship. This event offers an opportunity to discover these domestic objects that have become heritage pieces.
