Why this spot
The most famous clay tobacco pipe town in Britain: hundreds of makers from the 1600s, then Southorn's works from 1823, with kiln waste spread through local ground
Broseley Local History Society records pipe works history and notes local pottery 'often found in local gardens'; no single public dig spot
