Stripping my cottage, and open up some old fire places. Come to this one and noticed the lintel does not seem to join onto the vertical supports. If you look in the green circles there were loose packed stone, you will see in 2nd photo one site come out.
The red arrow is a steel sheet.
I want to open this up back to original size.
What do I need to cement into the gap? Would it need to be some kind of stone, or can I use some bricks?
Many Thanks.
