Hi - you might be interested in this, not sure. I live in Windsor UK and am currently building a new kitchen extension to our Victorian terrace house. This evening we dug up a prestine glass beer (?) bottle (stopper still intact) embossed 'Charles Ashby & Co, Staines' on the front, and 'J. Honkilner, Wakefield (Maker)' on the back. Having googled it I'm guessing it dates from the very late 19th century... Tangible evidence for you! Best wishes. Dom Cook
