As people may know, I am preparing my kitchen/scullery for plastering. The chimney breast was a complete mess having had a huge hole bashed in the side of it for pipes for the old parkray back boiler that was in there when I moved in. However one interesting thing that I have found is a second small flue (about 9" x 18") to the side of the main flue. The entrance to the second flue is from the gather of the first flue just above the arch, but more mysterious is that there is a vertical channel in the corner between chimney breast and back wall on the outside of the chimney breast that the flue is attached to. I have taken a picture shown below. I've bricked this channel up now as I wish to put a unit against the chimney breast, but thought I would make a record of what was there and ask if anyone knows what it might have been for. Some kind of water heater perhaps??
