Chemists - Plymouth & Cornwall

By Winston Guy

This book is a compilation of my other work and has been written as a means of recording information useful to antique bottle collectors or anybody with an interest in Devon and Cornwall chemist shops in the 19th and 20th centuries.
In the main, it is based on my own research that was undertaken over the last 20 years for the following uses: Articles published in Antique Bottle Collector UK Magazine"Chemists - Plymouth & Cornwall" CD-ROMFinds Reports for Phoenix Heritage large scale machine dig on former municipal dump in PlymouthUnlike my "Chemists - Plymouth & Cornwall" CD-ROM from the early 2000s, I've avoided trying to turn this into a catalogue of known bottle types and the like.

The ABC Magazine articles include discussions ofW.H. Box cures, Plymouth, Spear / Barge / Hill chemists, PlymouthPost cards of Devon & Cornwall chemist shopsDevon & Cornwall rennet bottlesMoors Embrocation, LauncestonBessie Le Cras, herbalist, PlymouthGeorge Starkey, chemist, PlymouthLate bottlesThe company listings (heavily updated since last available in 2014) give available details of Plymouth & Cornwall chemist companies between 1830 and 1950s, covering the period of most interest to bottle collectors.

Excerpts of finds report from Plymouth machine dig gives an insight into recovered chemist bottle finds from this large dig.
