1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Uncovering the Secrets of Southorns Pipeworks through an Account Book and Clay Pipes" This evocative photograph captures a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of pipe making at Southorns Pipeworks in Broseley, Shropshire, taken in 1987. The image showcases an account book and an assortment of clay pipes, which were discovered in the workshops of this historic pipe factory. Broseley, nestled in the heart of Shropshire, is renowned for its long-standing pipe making tradition, with Southorns Pipeworks being one of its most prominent establishments. The factory, now home to The Broseley Pipe Museum, played a significant role in the production of clay pipes from the late 18th century until the mid-20th century. The account book, filled with intricate entries, offers valuable insights into the daily operations and financial transactions of the pipeworks. Each page holds stories of the raw materials sourced, the laborers employed, and the pipes manufactured. The clay pipes, displayed alongside the account book, provide a tangible connection to the past.
