What the Bleep Happened Here? Episode 6 A Clay Pipe and Lost Industry In today's episode, Richard Tisdale and Chris Langston explore the story of the humble clay tobacco pipe. Once produced in vast numbers in Shropshire, these everyday objects are now among the most common historical finds. The pair discover why so many survive, where they're most often found, and how a once-booming local industry rose to prominence before eventually disappearing altogether.
