I was out wandering when i came across what i assume is a old dumping area,The ground was littered with old medicine bottles,pottery etc.

Does anyone know about these bottles?

There is a demand for old bottles, especially unusual one.
I've seen a magazine all about bottle collecting, I'm sure you will find the site on line.

searching "not to be taken" comes up with these types of bottles being linked with poison. Plenty being sold on ebay Collectible Poison Bottles from Pre-1900 | eBay

disgusting someone would dump a load of bottles that held poison inside.

It's surprising what some folk dump,I've been back this morning and collected a big bag full.
There are thousands of old bottles there,all shapes and colours from blues, greens to clear.

Some of the markings on the bottles/jars are:-
chesebrough vaseline
Millers ozone bleach
CWS
Poisonous not to be taken
Garton's HP sauce
Dinnefords magnesium
Lucozade
Ponds (white jar)
not genuine unless bearing wp hartley's label....


....any information folk may have would be appreciated.
 
I think I should get 10% for suggesting selling them Accyexplorer.

We were excavating part of the old railway line just short of the Martholme viaduct on the Read side a few years ago.
The number of old beer bottles we found which had been thrown from trains was amazing.
Some very early last century with brewers name moulded in the side.
The farmer took them away and said they would fetch a few quid.
Once again I never got my cut.

Never been hit with one but I'm an expert at emptying them. If AccyX is collecting empty bottles I'm his man.

I'm puzzled by the site. First thought -an old tip but the ground looks rocky and the bottles are on the surface?

I can just hear that gentle voice shrieking 'Either those bottles go or I do!'.

Yes,No digging needed,if these are on the surface, one wonders what lays beneath...Hmmmm.

I've started my collection with a boom (about 50+) And our peg knows where the door is :D

Is the 10% negotiable,seems a little steep :D

I may give you a little karma for pegging the site though ;)

Accyexplorer's use of the term 'our peg' interests me. I have only heard it used by residents of Preston. It means any female member of the family - wife,. sister, mother so far as I am aware.
