    Hi Stuart
    I too hunt for bottle dumps,,I know of a few but alas they are in the south,,I stumbled on them by chance as I’m a truck driver and get to see many things in my job,,I too am a hunter of old pot lids and so on,,I know of two sites,,one is in Welwyn Garden City,,Hertfordshire,, and the other in Bedford,,Bedford is very well known,,but the one in Welwyn in on an industrial estate and its hard to get too,,and truly only a couple of guys know it’s location and I’m one of them,,I have dug out a few pot lids,,made a few quid too,, and so many bottles,,there are many people searching for bottle dumps,,a lot of competition,,so as you know there is money to be made in this field,,old maps are the answer to searching in leeds,,and I wish you luck,,but be careful,,the deeper you dig,,the older the finds,,plus you have the more chances of cave ins,,so I wish you luck and please don’t do this alone coz it can be dangerous,,please excuse me if I sound a bit,blah blah blah,,but it’s 0430 am and I had a few brandy and cokes,heheheehehe so I wish you good luck and happy hunting,,but please again,,don’t do this alone

    I don’t know if you know the signs of bottle dumps but large patches of nettles reveal dumps and at riversides they may have dumped to shore up river bank I have just found one while fishingI live in Scotland will have a look when weather gets warmer
