On a recent beach cleaning i came across a pretty average looking plastic bottle, thinking nothing more about it, i picked it up and popped it in my bag to dispose of it responsibly. When i got home and had a look, i was surprised to see some writing on the bottle.
S. Maw, Son and Sons Ltd
After a bit of research, i found that the company had operated under slightly different names depending on who was running the business. Therefore, the date of this 'feeder' is circa 1918-1940
During this period - and considering the address on base of feeder - the below photo is an aerial shot of the factory in Barnet in 1937.
It is amazing what you can find - history is all around us
Stay safe x
