North's
In a trade directory North were listed as trading in The Upper Strand, Swansea.
An 1895 Directory places Mineral Water Manufacturers as next door to The Crown Minera Water Co.in the Strand.
In the 1891 Frederick H. North (born Aylesbury 1858) his wife and three children were listed as living at 1 Monger St. they are not listed in the 1881 directory. His son was born in Swansea in 1890 so they must have moved to Swansea before 1890. His job title in 1891 was Aerated Water Manufacturer foreman and a Directory in a Directory of 1899 he is listed as the Manager of The Crown Mineral Water Co. which was conveniently near his home address. He may have started producing bottles in his own name before working for the Crown Company, as in the 1901 there is no reference to North or any of his family in Swansea.
Three transfer printed versions. All white standard.
These bottle is part of the SMcD collection
Whilst bottles two and three look identical the design between the words "North" and "Swansea" is different
Unfortunately I don't have an example of a bottle from this firm , if you have a bottle you would consider selling please use the link below to contact me.
Many thanks
