READER Nicola Selby says her husband has dug up an old beer bottle while working in the garden.
It has a screw-type top and carries the name W Bolton & Sons.
The trade mark is WB in a shield and it gives the address as Blackburn Road, Bolton.
Nicola asks if there has ever been a brewery on Blackburn Road and she wonders how old the bottle might be.
Well, Nicola, I spent half an hour looking through old Tillotsons' Directories in our library and drew a blank.
Maybe there is somebody reading this who can solve the mystery.
