1850's "Black Beauty" Wins the race by a country mile
Hi all, Been digging most of the week at a demo site.Numerous old buildings and a few built in the 1960's use stand on this site.I found what remained of an early cellar and mostly just got junk and broken bottle and shards. Nearly gave up on the site for several reasons. No-one in the world could md this site as far to much junk. After 4 evenings of looking and hand digging i got this English black beer bottle with a horse on it. Saving grace Very thankful
The area in the early days was were the Irish gold diggers camped and later the Chiness traders had their shops.Around 1880 became part of the local brewery Cohn brothers.When some of the latter buildings were demo-ed between to walls a old hand painted sign was found .This was painted in the early 1960's and coveredd up until this week. Kind of cool but not that old.Well here a KIller bottle and few site pics.
