Description: | This bottle contained mineral water made in the factory of William Arthur Wilkinson in North Shields. Mineral water was water with mineral salts added either naturally or artificially. Wilkinson moved from Gateshead to North Shields in 1866 as a hairdresser, but soon moved into making aerated water. By 1899 he was advertising a thriving business selling wine, spirits, ale and porter as well. The factory later made lemonade.
