Description
Shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. During excavations at Bottle Bank more than 1900 fragments of clay pipe were recovered. The pipes and kiln debris recovered from Hawk's Yard were manufacturing waste from the workshop of Henry Walker. This had been disposed of in two pits with other more domestic waste. At the end end of Queen's Yard, a large dump of workshop waste including 'waster' pipes and kiln debris, including the wavy ribbons of clay pipe used as kiln supports. The maker here was George Liddell (1757-1763). Unstratified pipes from this area included pipes made by John Thompson and Michael Parke (who was working 16th century92-1737). The pipes of Thomas Parke (with a date range of 1650-1680) were found amongst the pipes in Smith's Yard. Leonard Holmes' pipes were found in Dobson's Yard. The excavated remains of the foundations of a building may have been that shown on Thompson's map of 1746 on the west side of Mirk Lane. Nolan suggests that the pipemaker may have been associated with the building.
SITEASS
In 1629 the burial of James Wilkinson, pipemaker, is recorded and by the mid C17 Gateshead was the centre of clay tobacco pipe manufacture in the north-east. The industry may have been encouraged by pre-existing industries also using pipe clay, particularly glassmaking, almost all of which was shipped here from south-east England via King's Lynn. The first recorded Gateshead pipe maker was William Sewell who was buried in St Mary's in 1646. By 1675 the pipe makers were sufficiently important to join the apothecaries and grocers in the formation of a guild, granted by Bishop Crewe. Known pipe makers in the C17 and C18 include the Holmes and Parke families, Taylor Ansell, Michael Swaddell and John Hastings.
