    Opening up a fireplace for a wood burner

    I have removed the old surround and exposed the brickwork. I believe it is ok to remove the bricks inside the red line. (See attached pics) There is a curved row of half bricks above the red line. Or do I need to put in a lintel. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers Simon
