Thank you for reply.
I'm not sure of the exact dates unfortunately.
c1901 to 1924 my grandfather was licensee of the Anchor Inn, Guisborough.
When he died in 1924 my grandmother took over the license, she died in 1939.
Up to the death of my grandfather no one had been in the attics as they were considered unsafe.
My parents (mother was daughter of licensee) went in the attics some time in the late 1920s early 1930s and discovered a bill (poster) dated 1745 for races - such as catch the greased pig! Prizes including a "ladies shift!"
Also there were seven quite large stone jugs. The locals referred to them as vinegar jars.
Six jugs were sent to a museum in York (I do not know which one), and my parents kept one which is still in the family.
An article was published in the Northern Echo about the find. I would like to know how they described what was found.
In later years when the jug came to me I looked into the history and took it to Christies.
What they had actually found were seven Cardinal Bellarmine stoneware wine jugs c1680, unusual because of their size.
So I suppose I am looking for something to the effect "discovery in attic of local inn" or "stoneware jugs discovered in Guisborough local Anchor Inn" I recall seeing the newspaper clipping when I was very young (early 1930), but do not know what happened to it.
Sorry this is such a long explanation.
Ceeoh
