Six clay pipe stems with a small part of the bowl remaining, dating from c. 1720-1820 (average diameter of stem: 8mm; collective weight: 20.23g). Each of these fragments has either a complete, slightly broken or missing spur below where the bowl meets the stem. In most examples, they protrude downwards at a near right angle, ending in a smoothed point. Slightly different spur points may indicate that the pipes were made in local and different production centres (Cleverdon, 1995, 13). All these examples are undecorated and are in a slightly worn but fair condition. Made from pipe clay.…

Twenty five ceramic wheel-thrown rim sherds of grey-bodied Derbyshire ware (thickness ranging from 8.3mm - 16.8mm; collective weight: exceeds weight limit of 250g).
