I was thinking back today about a time i cleaned the roofing tiles on my house (by hand, with a cloth).
I decided to google the tiles and found that there were some red tiles that were made with asbestos in them...... which got me worried.
All i remember about the tiles is that they were smooth to touch and there were a few broken ones (although i did not break them)
Pretty sure the house was bulit in the 1920s or possibly 30's.

Worry not, if the picture that comes up is the roof you mean then they are clay machine made tiles, you are confusing them with asbestos slates (generally Asbestos diagonal slates (blimey haven't written that for a while)) which were red in colour
