Hello there,
I've stumbled across this entry, based in Liverpool 1851. Listed as a 'Labourer in a Drugsoil Established' Having tried to Google this, I can only find some basic information that some substances were extracted from soil including antibiotics and penicillin.
I'd love to find out more about what that actually looked like in Liverpool 1851. Could this have been something as simple as working for a Pharmacist or being involved in something bigger?
Any thoughts, gratefully welcomed.
