Hi All
hopefully someone on here can offer me some advice, i have found the following pipe or cable in the bottom of my foundations as i have been digging. At first i thought it was the lead water supply pipe (its a 1955 property), but on closer inspection it seems to be banded/wrapped in something, and is showing signs of rust, but also shows up silver if you scratch it. Its not rigid, more "heavy floppy" like a modern armoured cable would be.
my previous experience of lead supply pipes has been that they look like a smooth pipe, not wrapped like this?
any suggestions appreciated from anyone who may have seen similar?
Many thanks
