Overview

"This book is a compilation of my other work and has been written as a means of recording information useful to antique bottle collectors or anybody with an interest in Devon and Cornwall chemist shops in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the main, it is based on my own research that was undertaken over the last 20 years for the following uses: Articles published in Antique Bottle Collector UK Magazine ""Chemists - Plymouth & Cornwall"" CD-ROM Finds Reports for Phoenix Heritage large scale machine dig on former municipal dump in Plymouth Unlike my ""Chemists - Plymouth & Cornwall"" CD-ROM from the early 2000s, I've avoided trying to turn this into a catalogue of known bottle types and the like. The ABC Magazine articles include discussions of W.H. Box cures, Plymouth, Spear / Barge / Hill chemists, Plymouth Post cards of Devon & Cornwall chemist shops Devon & Cornwall rennet bottles Moors Embrocation, Launceston Bessie Le Cras, herbalist, Plymouth George Starkey, chemist, Plymouth Late bottles The company listings (heavily updated since last available in 2014) give available details of Plymouth & Cornwall chemist companies between 1830 and 1950s, covering the period of most interest to bottle collectors. Excerpts of finds report from Plymouth machine dig gives an insight into recovered chemist bottle finds from this large dig. Contains over 150 photographs and illustrations"
