Popplestone
Popplestones
are first recorded operating as brewers agents from premises in Plymouth in
around 1878, possibly as agents for Guinness products.
Following
World War II, the company opened an off licence within the new development in Old
Town Street. Indeed, it would also appear that the company took over the
operations and trading name of Picken & Co in addition to their own.
Bottles
found are dark coloured glass beer bottles of various types. A champagne shape
stoneware ginger beer bottle was also issued but is a rare find
