You won't mate simple as that. My house was built in 1887 so done in Queen Victoria's Jubillee year which is why I guess it's called Jubillee Cottage. Sadly, in those days they did not have such a thing as planning control and building inspectors so basically although there were drawings of sorts they were not retained after the house was built.

go to your local plumbing merchants
ask for a box of smoke pellets (about a fiver) and light one in the fireplace go outside and watch which pot the white smoke comes out of- be warned - if your flue is blocked the smoke will come back in the room - it stinks!!! (personally i like the smell) lol
I am the manager of a fireplace showroom in Cardiff so this is something we do every day- or ask your local plumber to carry out a Flue soundness test - to make sure the chimney has a good 'pull' on It and is drawing well

Did you try lighting a smoke stick at the bottom of each, then going outside to see where the smoke comes out?
I think you can get smoke sticks at garden centres, for use in greenhouses.
