Identify bottle / sign and offer a date?

[Essenchill]

Just to let you all know that I haven't given up!

I have contacted the Hull Daily Mail who will be running a piece with this photo and two others I'm looking for further information on in the Hull Daily Mail's Flashback Daily section on Thursday, March 17!

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and ideas.

FYI:
Here's a link to a short film/article done about St. Andrew's Fish Dock/Bobbers in the 1960s.
No bottles! But I thought you might enjoy it anyway

I thought the bottle looked like Rose's lime stuff...but as I'm not English I'm probably way off. Schweppes acquired Rose's in 1957, but I couldn't locate any factories in the Hull area.

I'm a late entrant into this and I've only had time to speed-read all the posts but my initial thought on seeing the pic was Roses Lime Juice - 1950s.

I've been fiddling

Good try, but I think the shape and colour is wrong.  Since it's fairly apparent that the woman in the picture is a waitress of some kind, I think the bottle is far more likely to be a condiment or sauce of some sort

Perhaps this has been said before but the glass of the bottle looks embossed.

Maggie, what you may be seeing is what's called the 'artefacts' caused by the digital compression of the image.  This can cause patterns on the picture, which could be confused with an embossed pattern on the bottle

For no other reason than I've done it, here is a 1947 bottle of Roses Lime cordial.  I don't think it fits the bill as the label is different, but the bottle does look thinner than the modern one.

.... and I haven't 'doctored' it - honest  

Red post - hmmm maybe, not entirely convinced though, Nick

To me, the top of the label seems to have a 'By Royal Appointment' logo (going on a very vague shape), then there seems to be a light rectangle which possibly is where the name went, then underneath that there appears to be more writing in an arc.  Of course, we all make out our own shapes in an 'ink blot test'
