Summary
Two 17th century clay tobacco pipes found in Winsford. The precise location is uncertain. Both bowls are of the elongated 'Broseley' type which were made around 1660-1680. One has burnished bowl and is stamped RG. The other bowl has and is stamped TF. It is possible that the 'RG' bowl is of Chester manufacture, but it is likely that both were made at another hitherto unstudied centre, influenced by the north Shropshire industry at Broseley.
