I discovered these old jars in a broken down old shed at the bottom of the garden of the house we had just purchased in 1961, never seen anything like them before. The are now on display in my kitchen bay window. Would anybody know what they contained, and are they collectable ?? EricView attachment 115953
Below is a photo I took around 1970 of the entrance of what was once the Saxon Botanical brewery, through the archway on the left. the house next door had originally been occupied by a stone mason, Richard Folland, who had a workshop at the back before the houses were built. After he left around 1902 there were several occupants for the workshops, but in 1911 Thomas Saxon, who had previously had a botanical brewers in Villiers St, Wolverhampton , moved into part of the workshop, and in by 1920 had taken them over completely. The firm seems to have remained their till the early 1960s.
