Monument record TQ 67 SW 282 - Possible Manufacturing Waste Pit off Princes Street, Gravesend
Summary
Immediately north of No.40 Princes Street a shallow sub-square pit was recorded sealed by demolition rubble. Its fill consisted of thick bands of carbon and burnt mortar, containing, where cut, large quantities of tile fragments and 51 clay tobacco pipe bowls, 46 stems, glass bottles, 9 pieces of kiln material and two pottery sherds dating to around 1851. It is possible that this represents the residue or waste from a clay tobacco-pipe manufacturing kiln site nearby
