Description: | 'Coal-effect' electric fires were introduced in the early 1920s.
Gas fires were made more efficient by the introduction of clay elements and were cheaper to run than electric fires, which were inadequate for heating larger rooms. But coal was still cheap and open fires remained the most common form of heating. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | MoDA, Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (Middlesex University) | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1938 | Source: | Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
