I can't see any bare brickwork so I am going to presume it has been lined.
What is the next step to test its suitablity?

If it's been lined it'll be a perfectly round flue. If it's square and doesn't look like brick then it probably a refectory block, flue I would seek professional advice if this is the case as these are often only designed to be used with a gas fire./heater. and are not suitable for solid fuel fires.

Can you post some pics of yer flue  :oops:

--- Quote from: "Lord Shagg-Pyle" ---Being a bit of a geek, I've been having a quick hunt through my law books and have found this.

Excuse the techy bit.

Under the sub-section of Property, Section 4 of the Theft Act, 1968 (I know Boggert, its been superceded! I'm not that much of a dinosaur!)

Mushrooms or flowers, fruit or foilage from a plant (but not the plant itself) growing wild cannot be stolen unless for reward, sale or commercial use.

I would suggest that fallen wood comes into that category, on public land, tresspass being a totally different thing.
I'm not picking it, cutting it, uprooting it or destroying the entire plant. It  is not being done for commercial gain, reward or to be sold. :?

I shall make more enquiries.

Just use one of your works vehicles, no-one will ask about your actions.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
That's not a bad idea! I could get a piccy taken and sent it to the Daily Mail with the title
'Due to tight fisted Labour Government not sticking to their promises over Police pay, Police Officers are now forced to forage for firewood to heat their homes and catch squirrels to feed themselves. One Hampshire officer told our reporter "What pay dispute? I do this anyway! You fancy some hedgehog en croute?.
