Hi everyone

Just wonder is anyone seen these before? Bit afraid, as it may be asbestos. Maybe someone know for sure.
It's AB British Standard written on the front.
Came to install electrical fireplace and found this beauty after cutting the opening through plasterboard.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

That's fire brick.

When there was a fireplcae in front of it, there may have been asbestos rope filling the gap between the 2
But the front of the fire back has been cut down to allow the plasterboard to fit flush.
