Mineral Water Co. in London ??
« on: Thursday 11 March 21 12:32 GMT (UK) »
My ancestor was a ‘bottle labeller’ at the Mineral Water Co. in 1911.
He lived in Paddington, London and of course didn’t have transport so it must have been fairly close to his home.

Does anyone know of the place ?

I haven’t found anything on Google yet.
Thanks in advance.

There was public transport in London in the form of omnibuses, both horse-drawn and motor-buses.

In a 1906 Kelly's Directory, I found:

York Mineral Water Co. Limited., York Rd., Brentford, & 50 Vine St., Uxbridge.

Thankyou all very much for your information.
He lived within walking distance of Paddington station so presumably travelled that way.
