Interesting that a candle factory was also near by, most likely the tallow from the animal waste was utilised for the candle making. Also a Galvanizers which requires a lot of water during the process. It makes sense business's were close to the source of their required materials during the manufacturing process.The map is a fire insurance map from the late 1890s. It may be downloaded from

Interesting, thanks Sean. Which archaeological organisation is the archaeologist from? They should be compiling a publically available report on the work.
Yes you are right Lyn. I think Sunfresh was originally a brand set up to sell Californian (or it might have been Florida) orange juice. It later became a brand in the uk selling carbonated orange drinks (not sure if it then still sold the juice here), and was bought by Schweppes in the 1950s or 60s. Remained with them till Cadbury Schweppes was bought. I am not sure whether coca cola still own it
thanks mike i am sure in the 60s our milkman used to sell that orange juice from his float
I love this. What a fascinating job you're doing. And thanks for posting all your finds.
