y are there no chimmey pots on house of parliment building?

Question

the house of parliment building was built years ago and the only source of heating in them days was wood or coal which made smoke which needed a chimmy,so why no chimmy pots ???????????

Answer 1

There probably are chimney pots but they may be cleverly disguised as turrets or something equally 'gothic'. When the houses of parliament were built, it was a 'state of the art' building, despite its old fashioned appearance - built in a very fashionable style at the time.

Answer 2

The Houses of Parliament, also known as The Palace Westminster, is not only the home of the UK Parliament, it is also a royal palace and former residence of great kings.

This impressive Gothic Palace was built in the late 19th century by Sir Charles Barry to replace the original ancient buildings, which were almost completely destroyed by fire in 1834.

The layout of the Palace is intricate, with its existing buildings containing nearly 1,200 rooms, 100 staircases and well over 3 kilometres (2 miles) of passages. The Palace comprises many famous sites including the green-coloured House of Commons Chamber and the red-coloured House of Lords Chamber where all political decisions are made to this day. It also includes the famous Clock Tower Big Ben.


If you look all over the buildings you will see small chimmney flues & some pots. Without them it would of been a smokey building.

Answer 3

Answer 4
