Thera nei longya dhe drouvya eskern.

Sometimes, I see something new that I haven’t seen before. My husband dug up this bottle in our garden, by a very old hedge. I looked on the internet for the name on the bottle. I found bottle-green glass bottles like this. In the past (18th and 19th century) there were merchants in Falmouth and Truro called Carne. They were important people – general merchants as well as brewers, maltsters and rope manufacturers. They sold wine, spirits and every sort of beer. You needed to do business with Argentina or Mexico? You went to the Carne family. Business with a shipping company? Carne again. But the beer bottle? Who drank the beer? The hedge builder or someone who worked for the butcher perhaps. We usually find bones!
