The Victorian Piper

7 Followers

Pipes, tobacco and Victorian life all up for discussion with a focus on history and heritage engineering, another late-in-life passion for me. I volunteer as a steam engine operator at Blists Hill Victorian Town in Ironbridge, Shropshire - https://www.ironbridge.org.uk/ Most of the videos will be made here as we smoke a bowl, take a look at the lifestyle of the Victorians and I\\\'ll show you heritage engines we have here along with various other interesting features. Along with that I hope to get out and about to other heritage and historic places to see what they have to offer. Covid has delayed things but my aim is to start pipe production at the Broseley Pipe Museum - also owned by the Trust and one of (if not the) last entirely original clay pipe works in the world. I\\\'ll take you on the journey from learning the ropes to finished product - and finally, smoking them. thevictorianpiper@gmail.com
