Yorkshire (West Riding) / Hugh Gill Chemist 7 Old Market Halifax 1841-1843 ?
« on: Tuesday 10 June 14 18:49 BST (UK)  »
Just for anyone researching this family i thought i would put up this Very rare survivor,

Hugh Gill chemist 7 old market Halifax, i have not been able to find little about him but should date from the early 1840's
The Pharmaceutical society was founded in 1841 and became the ROYAL Pharmaceutical Society in 1843
so i am guessing this could be the date range for the bottle

Northumberland / what are the chances that James Robin 1844 was from North Shields
« on: Tuesday 10 June 14 18:30 BST (UK)  »
hi all, i have imported this amazing and very large "Sunderland" luster jug from France, it has been in the same family for years and was used as a flower vase up until the day i found it, I collect this kind of local pottery with the images of Tynemouth on them. The family could find no reference to a Robin side to there family and had no north east connections.

They are very few and far between unlike the common ones with the bridges or sailing themes.

they are unmarked with the pottery which made them but have been pinned down to the Carr pottery North shields.

most i have in the collection are called death mugs which some have peoples names on them and the date in black (earliest i have so far is 1861)

this on the other hand is missing the "Death" poem and has Red/brown lettering making me think it could be a "Birth" jug what do you think could he be from North shields area and a sailor ?

the problem is the size it is way bigger than all but one i have ever see, this was in the carr family and was from there pottery show room and was made for advertising. a normal sailor would not have been allowed to take up so much space on board ship so how did it end up in france

And was he a local man ?

Northumberland / j Peacock Newcastle help with information for book
« on: Tuesday 10 June 14 13:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

i am writing a book on the chemists Druggist's & herbalists of the North east of England (for 10 years so far) and i have had no luck pinning this bottle and name down, pre 1868 they did not have to be registered as a druggist or chemist.

the first thing i am wanting a answer is this My Newcastle or another one Australia ?

the second is was he a chemist as the shape and style of the bottle imply's

The Common Room / which J Peacock & which Newcastle
« on: Wednesday 10 July 13 09:36 BST (UK)  »
hi all i have found this historically important chemist bottle and i am righting a book on the chemist & druggist's of the North east of England, with over 700 items and over 1500 firms so far listed. this bottle is a very early type (probably the oldest ever found for this area) and dates from 1860-1870. but i have gone through all my records and cannot find a J Peacock listed for that date range, but records for this period are patchy to say the least. it has been said that it could be the American or the Australian Newcastle but the bottle has the feel of an English one .. but also a lot of bottles were made in the uk and exported to the colony's.. it was found i Torquay last year and passed on to me and i need to know if it can be added to my book or not.. thanks for any help or pointers on how to confirm its identity thanks
