All those awesome pictures are making me wish I lived in England! Amazing! Glad to see this post again, and welcome back, deepee!

Thanks I only wish I had more time at the moment just to get out for a dig Im starting to get a pot belly from the inactivity well here's a couple from my last dig with my old digging partner Rod

This one was taken not long after Rod dug this R.Emmerson Jnr stout bottle with Penny farthing trade mark complete with chunky stone stopper

Here me after getting a R.Emmerson Jnr black beer with part of its paper label intact.

Here's the Emmerson black beer after a quick clean

Ive taken a few shots of some beers these are left Henry Burton Darlington with tankard trade mark & the other is Woods & Sons from Bedlington, Wood was the father of another well known mineral manufacturer from Durham W.H.Wood which may be known by his Durham Cathedral trade marked bottles

Three William Thompson beers from Consett my home town the amber champagne is one of only two known.

Three bottles from Consett Northeastern breweries with the dray cart trade mark the early ones dont have the trade mark.

Lastly a trio of gingers from my area of the UK note the W.H.Wood with Cathedral trade mark as mentioned above quite a scarce ginger which circa 1890 must have been just after he moved from Bedlington to Durham I hope you've enjoyed viewing & please leave a wee note if you liked what you've seen Thanks Dave​

Hi Thanks for your comments so can I ask a question? how often do Codds appear in your bottle digs? here's 3 recently photographed

Left to right. J.Kershaw & Sons Gateshead this ones a patent safe groove Dan Rylands Barnsley, F.Underwood Carlisle which has a picture of Underwoods factory covering the whole of the face of bottle, lastly A.Skidmore Blaydon which is a nicely worded front & rear this being a Niagra patent & made locally at Alfred Alexanders Blaydon.

A pair of Bewick Brothers from Blaydon half pints these are real hard to get hold of in this size I was lucky enough to dig both of these which are the only ones I have ever come across both are Niagra patents
