Unicorns fart glitter.
Acquired a flat converted in the 1970s. Above the internal doors are ugly air brick type vents on both sides of the 1970s stud walls between the hall and rooms off of it.
The decorator claims these should not be removed as they allow air circulation into the dropped ceiling void in the hall. Were this the case, it's not clear why you would need one on either side of the partition walls or indeed if the stud walls vent into the ceiling void.
My guess was they were there due to the presence of gas fires or back boiler in the 1970s conversion.
Any ideas ?
