Terry wrote (October 2007): "Please find 4 photos of local glass bottles found on my travels:
Left to right:
1 - a stone ware bottle kindly donated to me,
2 - a Forest of Dean Mineral Waters bottle found in Speech House
3 - a Lydney Mineral Water Company bottle found in the woods close to an old forestry lodge,
4 - a Cinderford Aerated Water Company bottle, the company was in High St Cinderford".

John Harris added (Feb 2012): "... The left hand white bottle with George St John Speech House written on it could be from about 1911 as on the 1911 census page for Speech House, George St John junior is described as Hotel keeper and mineral water manufacturer. It is possibly my grandfather Frank King who is described on the same page as a bottle washer".
