nickyc   10 #14 Posted April 16, 2004 I think it sounds like fun. Maybe getting a victorian map of sheffield would help in deciding where to dig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Classic Rock   10 #15 Posted April 16, 2004 I have green bins in my car park where I put all my empty bottles. A glass recycling firm take them away. Feel free to rummage through - plenty of J20s, diet cokes (wavy bottles) and Budweiser bottles in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yog Sothoth   10 #19 Posted September 12, 2010 I used to do this years ago. I used a lot of the nicer, more interesting bottles to serve my homebrew in. There's a good site up Claywheels Lane at Hillsborough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

munster   10 #24 Posted September 12, 2010 It may sound dull, but don't forget we're talking about digging on the site of Victorian rubbish dumps (or, at least I am). I used to dig on one in Oxford and found some amazing stuff. Not only bottles of all shapes, sizes and colours, but chamber pots, clay pipes, lead soldiers, round china toothpaste jars (pre-tubes), earthenware jam pots etc. In fact anything that hadn't broken down after 100 years+ of being in the ground.  You never know, if you try digging on old sites around Sheffield, you may uncover some original bottles of Ye Olde Dr. Henderson's Relysh and Medicinal Horse Liniment (by appointment to HRH Queen Victoria) !  more likely you would find a buggered cortina engine 2 old sierra wheels and a morris marina gearbox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
