I
Its a bit of an old word, used to deposit household waste that couldn't be fed to pigs, chicken, or be burnt on the fire, like crockery and glass, we find a lot of clay smokers pipes, all broken, I'm told that the problem was that they fell out of the smokers breast pocket and when they hit the floor they broke, which is most likely why I've not found a whole one
Intresting mate my old man's found a few pipes in the trade over the years, also the mrs grandad used to do work for the diocese and used to find them along walls he was repairing from the ancient brickies I suppose
