Could anyone identify this monolith embossed on it. Is it a famous place of London?
It seems that there is a statue on top of it.

The bottle is aqua and don't have a green tinge. The photo could be better.

THe Embossing is a Statue in the centre of London Called Nelsons Column. Probably Londons most celebrated monument and quite topically really since the end of last month celebrated Nelson's Bicentinial year. Nelson was the greatest Admiral of the fleet ever.

Let us know if you ever find out anything about it. I'm betting it is pretty rare since it didnt seem to be listed anywhere.

I've got a new camera[]

An answer at last!
Answer from an UK forum:

Post Office London Directory 1841
13 St. Mary at Hill
G. Purt - Soda Water, Lemonade, &c. ma
Thomas Purt - Dairyman
Post Office London Directory (Small Edition) 1852
13 St. Mary at Hill
George Purt - Soda water, lemonade, & ginger beer manufacturer & importer of dantzic spruce
8 Water Lane, Great Tower Street
Bottled ale & stout merchant.

And another fantastic bottle known (not mine)

THE BOTTLE ON THE FAR RIGHT IS THE ONLY GREEN EXAMPLE FROM PURT'S THAT I KNOW OF. IT'S GOT A STRANGE ELONGATED NARROW NECK, SMALL ROLLED LIP, & UNUSUAL FLATTENED EMBOSSED LETTERING. IT IS EMBOSSED ALL ROUND THE BODY: PURTS/CELEBRATED/DOUBLE/SODA=WATER/13 St MARY AT HILL/CITY/OF LONDON.

Excellent photos and bottles, you always have great items.

Its just starting to get pretty cold here, post a few photos of the beach to warm us up[]

This forum have helped me identifying a few bottles, so its fair to share information with you.

Autumn is here and winter is coming, but beaches are still there.
Not so cold but not hot (night-time temperatures are between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius and day-time between 12 and 18 degrees)
I'll post some photos soon.
