That York Mineral Water firm was presumably the one in Brook Road North ...on the corner Fran's York Road.A company called Discount Records was on the site in the early 70s and I did business with then. Also in the larger premises was HGA Printing in the 1970s...(another customer)Fran has moved..met the charming new residents at the Holiday Inn bash.Bottles..Brentford collectables..sounds right!

Another lovely item, it's a bit priccy.It's a 19thC York Table Waters Brentford Brass Menu Surround. Perhaps Emma should buy it for her pub.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19thC-YORK-TABLE-WATERS-BRENTFORD-BRASS-MENU-SURROUND-/260704566793?pt=UK_Collectables_Breweriana_SM&hash=item3cb333fe09
