Three rows of three clay pipe ends each with a different designed shape: knobbly, dragon clay, acorn and leaf, hand holding glass, goldfish, crowned man, anchor, wine glass image, boot shape

Clay pipes are great for dating archaeological contexts but they also just be fun to look at!

This greetings card design is adapted from clay pipes excavated in Bristol city, now housed in Bristol Museum.

White clay pipe

Morning! A friend found this in her garden and gave it to me as a gift as she’s moving. Love it! Victorian I think #claypipes

Today's beach find, a lovely bit of 18th Century curved clay pipe stem.

Looking at the clean break I should have kept an eye out for more of it!

In Culford Stream at @FullersMill, among the flint gravels, found a 19th Century(?) clay pipe, huge bone (horse? cow?), and upstream, where this chalk stream runs through @SWTLackfordLake, an old jug.

On the bed of the River Kennett upstream of Freckenham, the bowl of a 19th Century #claypipe, & stem of another.
Also #willowpattern ceramics with my 1st River Limpets (Ancylus fluviatilis).
Plus, as usual, many horse bones & a horse shoe.
