Welcome to the forum! You're in the right line of work to be finding bottles for sure, especially in the UK. I'm sure you'll find lots more if you keep your eyes out. I assume the one you have info on is the Jewsbury & Brown, the other one is a stoneware ginger beer bottle but without any markings there isn't that much more to say about it. Not sure on age since we don't get them in that style over here, probably mid-late 19th century.

That's awesome, you don't have to work at final bottles, you just go to work. Here's a few from the summer, careful you end up like the rest of us boxes and boxes. Have fun.
