Hi, I was recently digging in my front garden and discovered these pipes an inch under the top of my lawn.
Near the front of the house they disappear under a front patio so I can't see where they go or what the service, but my gas meter is in close proximity so could they be gas pipes?
They're buried in the lawn (which is 4 metres long) and go off away from the house towards the pavement (I can't actually see them from the pavement which is about a 18" below the level of my front lawn - so the pipes disappear to below this level in about 4 metres) - assuming they've not been cut and just terminate under my lawn somewhere?
Also, why are there two of them? They look identical and even though they're in 'my' land, they are very close to the boundary with my neighbour (could one be their gas/water pipe?).
Can anybody identify them from the photo?
Are they more likely to be gas/water is there anyway of knowing if they're live (without digging into them!).
We have 1930's houses.
Thanks.
