at the fizzy-pop factory

Mr J B Bowler already owned an engineering firm when he decided to open a soft drinks factory around 1860. At the Museum of Bath at Work, his factory, which traded for 100 years, has been re-created. Plenty of photo ops and all the bottles, especially, caught my eye. These are clean, waiting for re-filling.

Unhappily, opening this factory was not all profit for Mr Bowler as a daughter (one of his 13 children) working there lost an eye when a bottle exploded.

I converted this photo to sepia from colour.

Yesterday's bottle shot was also taken at this factory:

Just drying I think - I doubt they would be filled this way up. Did you see my other bottle shot I flagged up in my commentary above? I might post one or two more - shall be pleased to think you show them to your students.
