Porter & Ale Merchants
The companies in
this category have been drawn from the listings of the 1850 & 1852 trade
directories, little information is available and it is unclear whether bottles
from these companies have been recovered, hence, the lack of information does
not justify a section on each company. Later ale & porter merchants are
listed in the gazetteer.
