Re: traditional lancashire hamper - what to put in it?
I can't find any reference to Stocks Iron Brew either but my mother used to sell it back in the 1960's and 70's. It didn't have the same label as the rest of the Stocks pop but was definately theirs. The label was much smaller and had a picture of a blacksmith or a forge and I'm sure said that it was created in the 1870's. I always understood that Barr's had to call theirs Irn Bru because Stocks had the trademark on Iron Brew. I think they sold it to Ben Shaw's when they closed down in Accy because I've seen the odd can of it since although I have to say I've never tried the Ben Shaw's stuff.
