    good work James! Is that black stuff burnt? Some kind of charcoal oven??

    Curious and curiouser. Make sure there's no asbestos in there.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Is this old copper pipe?


    If so, my money is on it being a still! B)

    If they can sell 10 tonne alpine planters, you could flog this. :D

    James, you might have to upload the film onto Youtube (or etc) and then post the link here.

    No to the copper wiring. It’s electrical cables from when there was a summer house at the back that was wired up (I think). The black stuff of just from the cover that I knocked out. I came apart like slate. That white block though looks odd. Can ups it be a fire brick? What does asbestos look like?
