Cheshire Sterilised Milk Co. UGB bottle was found in Ravenhead. St Helens.
History of The Cheshire Sterilised Milk Company.
Anthony Hailwood (4 July 1838 – 24 June 1922) was the first person to sell sterilised milk in the United Kingdom.
In 1894, Hailwood began the commercial sterilisation of milk in the UK, providing it under the name of the Cheshire Sterilised Milk Company.
This meant that milk could be stored for a longer time.

In 1953 the company was acquired by United Dairies.
This UGB bottle was from around the period of 1913 - 1953 and was found on an old railway embankment close to Nuttal Street and the Ravenhead Bottle works.
