A Dan Rylands bottle. Everything you need to know here. https://stairfootstation.co.uk/rylands-and-codd
Anybody get any idea what this bottle fragment is? I was amazed when I found it. Firstly, that I noticed it and then that I could make out that it was from Barnsley. It was after the covid lockdown and we played qpr that night. It is also amazing that I can watch Barnsley play football at Oakwell and I am camping in the middle of the West Australian scrub..all live this. There is plenty of trash out in the bush which goes back to the goldrushes of the 1800's. I took it as an omen. we beat qpr and that was the start of the resurgence. So what is the bottle? (like antique roadshow this)
yer know... I knew that you would be onto it Statis... It would have been carried out into the goldfields by the prospectors. Maybe by camel. No water or food out there. A lot of young men died out there. That is the unprepared. The ones that didn't carry out a bottle of ginger beer from Barnsley,
yes, where they stopped and worked to get gold there is pleanty of rubbish heaps of bully beef cans, sardine cans, all kinds of grog, horseshoes, tin baths. The rubbish is over a hundred years old.
I like to think that one day in the far future, when we're all gone, someone will excavate this site, pick among the threads and say. "This rubbish is over a hundred years old."
Was on holiday about 20 years ago in Newquay & on the beach wedged into a rock was a brick with a bit missing but it spelled BARNS & afe of an L, it was well worn.
I went on holiday to Altinkum, Turkey about 1993. Went in a bar with my Barnsley top on, and sat in the other side of the bar was 2 Barnsley fans
Only a few years ago at Flamborough South Landing I found a fantastic weathered brick that had white enamelled sides. Then I noticed it had LEEDS stamped on it. Threw it back in.
