Title
Architectural feature in cottage - RAC00105
Description
House in Heptonstall; back of photo has date of 1958. The diagonal joint in the large piece of timber is a scarf joint, used to join two pieces of timber together in the same alignment. The timber on the left has moulded decoration and may originally have been supported by another timber at right angles, which has been taken out, and they have jointed the plain piece instead to support it. This was often done when a smoke hood was replaced by a stone chimney stack and fireplace. The supporting timber (now gone) for the smoke hood was called a bressumer.
