Hey everyone. Long time reader, first time poster.
This might be a bit random, but someone on here probably knows the answer.
I've recently moved into a new house which needs a lot of work. One of things I'm doing at the moment is putting in an in ground trampoline for my daughter. I've started digging the hole, but have encountered a pipe in the ground.
Likelihood is that I'll need to shift the position of the hole to work around it. However, I'd like to identify what the pipe is for in case it's
- no longer in use,
- could be moved,
- or just for general future knowledge.
I attached a picture of the pipe. It's a ceramic type pipe in a yellowish colour. It does seem to have separated slightly over the time it's been there, so I can see in through the gaps. I'm assuming it's some sort of water drainage, but it does look dry inside at the moment.
Anyone any idea what it is for?
Some extra information about the property in case it helps.
Our garden slopes downhill and the pipe goes diagonally across for the section I've uncovered. According to the water search we had when buying the house, the drainage is all out the front, not the back where the garden is.
The house was built in the 60s with a section of the garden being purchased by the council in the 70s/80s in order to widen a main road that runs behind it.
