The mystery is, the drainage is 'modern' (1976), using hepworth or
Naylor glazed earthenware pipes with plastic/epdm connectors so I'm not

lacking running streams or ponds, or fast food outlets.

Farms out in the sticks get a lot of rats, too. It's not just an inner
city thing.

We've had rats out in the garden. But still no idea how it would get
into the sewer pipes.

Possibly from the drains. I opened the inspection chamber cover some
time back and found a frog living in there!
