Treasure in the garden


These two clay pipes were found while foundations were being dug on my property which is in the conservation area in Central Tonbridge, and as the house is dated at 1896 one can assume they originate from the Victorian era.

It's not all that was found either, as an archaelogical investigation discovered traces of iron which could suggest an iron foundry or forge in the area.

Quite a find!!!
