Here are some more local bottles, in which I hope you are interested!
On left: 'W.B.Pyle, Chollerford & Rothbury'. I think it is a beer bottle but I've discovered no history.
Middle: 'The Rothbury Brewery Co., Rothbury'. Townfoot. This brewery was bought in 1911 by James Aitken & Co.Ltd. of Falkirk. In 1869 Dippy Dixon married Mary Hindhaugh, daughter of Robert H. who then ran the brewery.
On right: 'George Storey & Co., Rothbury'. Bottled beer for Bass. And for others? I've found fragments of stoneware flagons impressed, 'George Storey & Co., Wine & Spirit Merchants, Rothbury'.
