Oakes Street Archaeological dig *(Digital recreation)*
Bottle marked 'J.Thompson Liverpool'.
"You'd take the glass bottles back and you'd get a penny off some of them; depending on what type of tops they had on them you'd get thre'pence on them... if you'd see any of them hanging around (it was very rare that you did) you'd take them, rinse them out and then take them back to the shop."
Margaret Hurst
Digging Up ‘Little Hell’!
An excavation of one of Liverpool's slum 'Court Houses' was undertaken in July at Oakes Street (between London Road and Pembroke Place). As part of the Galkoff’s and Secret Life of Pembroke Place project the Museum of Liverpool archaeology team worked with Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine to see what was hidden under their car park.
One of the objects found was a glass bottle.
