Barling Trafalgar Ye Olde Wood 1822 The Barling Trafalgar 1822 "Ye Olde Wood" is a classic English bent billiard made from high quality aged briar. First introduced in 1913, only the best briar blocks are put through an extensive ageing process before they can be given the "YOW" stamp. Each pipe has a hammered nickel band and the classic metal lions head logo inset on the stem. The name is a tribute to Trafalgar Square, just half a mile from Golden Square where Benjamin Barling first registered as a jeweller in 1820.
