There was also a Roman dig right by the stream /river that ran along the bottom of the golf course before the m42 was built, we used to shoot on land adjacent to the golf course and regularly would see teams there doing archaeology. All gone now I believe since they built the industrial estate...

I haven't followed the whole thread, but the 2 buildings (Sydney Mitchell and the one to the left of that were Suffields back in the day, I can only go back as far as the 1980's with my memory of the area as I grew up in Shirley from 1980 onwards but have always been local to there with Cheswick...

I always use it , to me it's a term if endearment, I only ever use it on women though, I have never had a man call me bab and I've never called a man bab. I've never had anyone get offended by it and I use it all the time. It's always been well received, just a figure of speech . Come to think...

That would fit any of the old masons bottles with internal thread by the looks of it, vulcanised rubber I think?. I would say anything up to the 1960's or so, all of the older bottles my dog had found from masons have never had the vulcanised lid, but I have many others from other bottles. It's...

I had much the same thoughts as some of your comments and was thinking that cubs/scouts had died a death, but after walking with someone the other day who is a scout leader he was telling me that every local scout/cub group have huge waiting lists (he quoted me 8 years at one point for cubs)...

Agreed, they're identical, the issue I was getting at was the top, those are screw caps as I would expect, the Corona bottle that I posted has one of those pressed on tops(like the steralised milk bottles), that is exactly what the me I've never seen that used on a pop bottle but it's definitely...

Thank you for sharing, I hadn't seen those either in terms of Corona pop. Hopefully, one day the dog will find me a cod bottle, fingers crossed!.

These are the ones I have seen from my childhood days in the 1970 era. Link 1:- https://postimg.cc/18p0y0yJ Link 2:- https://postimg.cc/0KMmFDtG The type are a screw thread(these may not be Corona but same style as I remember), perhaps an older style lid on the 1st images I posted, I really...

Hi Lyn, I will post an image of a regular corona pop in a few minutes, then look at the top of the neck and you will see a difference. I have just never seen a pop like that.

Hi, I can't tell it's a beer bottle, that is basically the question, I've never seen a pop bottle with that type of lid before, I have seen many many beer bottles(steralised milk also) with that exact style of lids, by far the most common are beer bottles in that style. I did have a friend...

Here you go, images. Link 1:- https://postimg.cc/4Yws9M5M Image 2:- https://postimg.cc/sMnCXWfC

Agreed, I had never heard of it, had you ever heard of pop being made with a pop off top?, I would think that would defeat the whole point of keeping the fizziness in and the bottle would have to be drunk in one sitting. I will see if I can put an image up later this evening of the bottle, it's...

Apologies for reviving this old thread, but I wondered if anyone following this thread remembers if corona sold beer in a bottle(the same size bottle as their pops)?. Reason I ask is I've found an old corona bottle that I thought was a pop, but then I noticed the lid had a pop off type metal...

Alex, I have sent you a PM, my dog found a very old T Mason and Son , Smethwick pop bottle, message me privately please.

Lol, I remember those even though when I grew up in the 1970's I don't recollect them being used even then(apart from opening the steralised milk), but then I was never a drinker in the 1980's, when I was of legal age we had those silly champagne fads in the night clubs and Grolsch(or however...
