This collection was acquired by the Archive in 2003 and formally accessioned in early 2004. It comprises in excess of 3,000 pipes from London, mainly from the Thames Foreshore. Most of these are marked and date from c1580-c1920, including one complete seventeenth-century pipe and many complete nineteenth century pipes. There are also approximately 80 pipe clay hair curlers from the Thames, some of which are complete and marked. These fragments were collected by Tatman while he was living and working in London.

In addition, there a number of pipe fragments and pipe related objects, from other areas in the UK as follows:-

Pipes including marked stems from St Peter’s Street, Northampton.
Decorated nineteenth-century pipes from the Lincoln area.
Pipe and hair curlers from Boscastle, Cornwall.
Pipes from the Medway region, Kent.
Pipes from Beverley, Humberside.

Three cadger pipes, two by Blake and Crop.
A Jacob pipe bowl by Gambier.
A figural by Crop of London with a registered design no. 326970.

All the pipes are currently stored in a haberdashers cabinet and two 15-drawer filing cabinets.

In addition to the artefactual evidence there are four A4 bound volumes containing drawings of most of the pipes together with details of where they were recoverd and who might have made them. The aim is to have all four volumes scanned so that they are available digitally. At the moment only the first volume is available in three parts as follows:

Finally, there is a small collection of letters and correspondence between Colin and other contemporary pipe researchers.
