EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Mr. Ivor Southorn is seen taking a contemplative puff on a traditional clay pipe at the abandoned Broseley Clay Pipe Works in Shropshire, England, in 1987. The factory, which had been silent since 1957, was once the epicenter of clay tobacco pipe manufacturing in Broseley, a town renowned for producing the finest pipes. Mr. Southorn's great, great grandfather, William Southorn, had started pipemaking on an industrial scale in this very location, and the town became synonymous with the production of high-quality churchwarden long-stemmed pipes. These pipes, with their elegant long stems, became a fashion in the coffee houses of Regency London and beyond. As Mr. Southorn smokes his pipe, he is deep in negotiations with Ironbridge Gorge Museum to sell the factory and its entire contents. The time capsule pipe factory, now a cherished piece of industrial heritage, is now part of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, a testament to the rich history of clay pipe manufacturing in the area. Broseley's clay pipe industry was a significant contributor to the region's economy and cultural heritage. The pipes made here were prized for their quality and craftsmanship, and the factory's closure marked the end of an era. Mr. Southorn's poignant moment at the works serves as a reminder of the town's proud past and the importance of preserving its industrial heritage. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with Mr. Southorn's pipe smoke rising against the backdrop of the abandoned factory, a poignant symbol of the passing of time and the enduring legacy of Broseley's clay pipe industry.
