Hi Jenny,  we use to have the coal inside the house next to the back door. So 
we kept a bucket in there and just brought  the coal in when needed.

We use to call it the coal hole.
love Malcolm. xxx

Does anyone remember the black  Valour stove? we had one on very cold nights, 
it gave a pattern on the ceiling  and a smell of its own
My job was to fill the coal bucket, unfortunately I had a very bad tempered 
mother who would shout if I or my brothers did not notice that the damn bucket 
was empty.
Thank goodness for central heating.
Jenny C
