Rain gutters have actually been around for hundreds of years. They were first established by the Indus Valley People around 3,000 BC and were just clay drains pipes covered with bricks. Eventually, the Roman Realm added rain gutters to roads and walkways to capture rain. This ancient human being also brought rain gutters to England around 47 AD, when the Norman Realm ruled. During this time around, many buildings were reconstructed with stone roof coverings as well as parapets embellished with gargoyles.
