Hope this is the correct place for this question.

Please have a look at the photos on my Flickr page:

Found some white 20mm paper backed board with what looks like coarse hairs embedded through it.

This was hiding behind a plasterboard wall covering a fireplace which we've been opening up today.

I know i'd have to get it tested to be certain but wanted to know if anyone could give their opinion. There's no sparkly bits in it that i can see, just these small coarse hairs and small off-white lumps.

I'd get it checked out for sure Jon. It's impossible to say whether it is asbestos or not just by looking at your pics.
