The Stowe is a farm and small area near Whitney on Wye in west Herefordshire

Thanks, Puffcat - I noted your earlier reply, but am intrigued by Bilge's comment on Stowe being famous for it's ginger beer manufacture in the mid 19c - I was hoping that he - or somebody - could elucidate on this.

As a newbie to this forum, I see no means of private messaging other members, unless I'm missing something? So here's hoping Bilge picks this up  :)

Stowe was made famous by it's manufacture of Ginger Beer During the mid 1800's

Attwoods Ginger Beer

Would be interested in source of this info or further info to help substantiate this - I have in my possession a particularly early (1830-50?) ginger beer bottle impressed 'Attwoods Ginger Beer Stowe' but have so far been unable to confirm which of several Stowe's nationwide this originates from. Any help appreciated  ;)
