I'll finish it in the morning, hopefully a bit dryer. Since I won't be rushing, I may go and look for that gravel, and I'm considering whether I can get a curved plastic pipe that can replace the clay segment, as I remember seeing some today that where quite long, removing the need for a massive 3m pipe.
Anyway here is the beautiful piece of pottery that has had me buying angle grinders and putting my hands in crevices.
The bottom hadn't collapsed, but there was a chunk of metal and bricks and only come loose when I lifted it out and it fell apart. Even then I had to smash it with a hammer to free it. As you can see, the vertical part was completely fragmented and seperate from the main part.
Cheers for all the help so far, really appreciate it.

Really do appreciate it, I would of either destroyed it all by accident or still be stood there poking a stick down it. I'm in the armed forces
Builders, eh?

You should have said that in the first place!!! You could have used dynamite and saved buying the spade and grinder ha ha
Mortar applied, just waiting for it to dry. Says quick drying, 15 to 30 minutes. Been longer than that. Mortar is certainly firming up, reckon I can just fill it in? I've seen grids with gravel around them, is this for appearance or does it have a practical use? My concern would be gravels dropping down drain.
As long as the black pipe is the right size it will be ok.
I'd mortar around the gully. As well as gravel falling in the gully you could get water passing the gravel into the ground.
The mortar will be slower because it's cold.
