ENTER A REAL-LIFE TIME CAPSULE OF CLAY TOBACCO PIPEMAKERS
Broseley Pipeworks was one of the last clay tobacco pipe factories in the UK with this small village in the Ironbridge Gorge known around the world for its clay pipes.
Little has changed at the Broseley Pipeworks since it ceased operating as one of the UK’s last producers of clay tobacco pipes in the late 1950’s. Untouched for 80 years, and re-opened as a museum in 1996, the Pipeworks is a time capsule depicting perfectly an ancient local industry which spanned 300 years.
