    Yeah, I live in an old victorian house and would love an old victorian chimney pot to use as a planter but they are crazy expensive to buy. I also love the idea of using an old belfast sink as a mini pond.

    Whwn we had one of chimneys removed from this house - 60 years old- I not only have the pot but also the liners that went up the stack. Really good pot sized containers. Have used 5 still have 6 to go. Keep an eye on houses being done up, chimney liners going to skip!! NO mine are not availableimage
