Woolfall

[bearswede]

Anyone ever come across a black glass ale/rum bottle, probably English, embossed on the base: "Woolfall"?

Thanks,

Ron

Still hoping to find some info on this one...

Hi Ron I found that "The Woolfall family were a major force in the creation of the borough of Huyton with Roby", near Liverpool. From that the info gets scattered to coat of arms, a golf coarse (which I think was the Woolfall estate), roads named Woolfall etc. It could be a family wine or brew or maybe they owned a pub or inn at some time. Who knows?

Eric...

There was a Woolfall Hall in Huyton that burned down in the 50's or 60's... I'm bettin' that the bottle is related to its 19th century mantel...

Nice Ron, I like history much more than value. It seems you've got this one pretty much narrowed down for anything of English origin. Not an easy task so nice job. Nice to see folks with the history on the site as well so thanks to you also!!!!

RE: Woolfall revisited

Got a new, slightly shorter, Woolfall to add to my burgeoning collection (2 now) of early English Woolfall bottles...

It's the one on the right...
