The only reference in the newspapers I can find is from the Morpeth Herald 18th May 1901:

"The Rothbury Aerated Water Company will thank the person
who took the HORSE SHEET from the Farmyard at Low Trewhitt
on Sale Day, May 1st, to return the same to Well Strand, Rothbury."

Lol, Very droll, someone must`ve had a sense of humour at Rothbury Aerated Water Co lol.

Re Low Trewhitt, I went there today to have a look round. Was like going back in time (1901?). The place was dilapidated - rickety, worn out old buildings and out houses that hadn`t seen a coat of paint since I don`t know when, and god wot else! But I digress.

PS. Trewhitt Hall just up the road may have had some connection with the water co - just a thought. The Hall was used as a shooting lodge in Lord Armstrong`s time,
