HISTORY During the Industrial Revolution the first mass-produced gutter and pipe system was made from cast iron. However, it was the Victorians who developed the design possibilities of cast iron rainwater systems and used them as decorative features to adorn the external elevations of buildings. Prior to this period, gutters were fashioned from lead or timber and there are still original and restored examples on display today. Regional foundries were established which largely produced what became generic shapes and profiles, although there were certain profiles that were specific to particular areas such as Notts Ogee.
