Description

In 1976 4 clay pipe bowls were found in a midden near Blaney Row, Throckley Reath. 1. Plain bowl. 2. Two bowls with the stamp 'Tennant and Sons', probably William Tennant of Newcastle, 1875-1925. 'Burns Cutty' is stamped on the stem. 3. A bowl decorated with a fish-scale pattern around the upper part, and a curved linear pattern at the junction with the stem. On the stem are the letters 'DE...' and '...ND', probably the stamp of J. Denton of Sunderland, working from 1865.
