Is your local dump 'Groby road' ?

The childs victorian sherbert shear top pistol you mention sounds like the type of bottle that comes off there.

hi dave
well done mate , you sound like youve put in some hours at grooby rd . i think this must be the best known tip in england ,stil produsing after 20 years .
i have been digging there reasently but it seems like a lot of top soil to shift for a small pach of undisterbed tip 12 foot down ,and the waight of all that soil seemes to have smashed all the goodies . Do you still have any luck there ?

Hi Rooster,

I haven't been on Groby road for a while now. Been too busy digging elsewhere. Last time I was on Groby road was when the botton allotment (Pierres allotment) became free.

Groby is very sparse with much broken stuff.

If you dig deep enough you can still find some fresh ash on the 'old' end.

Good luck!
