mudlarking london pottery The reason why there are so many clay pipes on the Thames Foreshore

One of the questions which people ask me frequently is "Why are there so many clay pipes on the Thames foreshore?"

I love finding clay pipes. Since the late 16 century, clay pipes have been in existence (tobacco was introduced to England in approximately 1580), and we are still discovering them today. Clay pipes were essentially disposable and so they are pretty much like old fashioned cigarette ends (only nicer).

Join me as I find some clay pipes in the Thames mud and I wonder about why there are so many to be found on the foreshore, even to this day.

I have used many resources during the research for this video, and so, a big Thank You to:

The Society for Clay Pipe Research (who have an excellent fb page)
