- He was a stationary engine driver, and they lived in Victoria Street, Wolstanton; later 52 Wedgwood Street (now redeveloped); 23 Chetwynd Street in 1911, at which time his engine is stated as being at the sanitary works. The later addresses at least are within easy walking distance of a sewage works shown on old maps on the Fowlea Brook, once the most polluted waterway in the Potteries.
- Public drainage works began to be built in Burslem in 1855, and water closets were extensively installed. Yet the
need for further closets was still being urged in 1886
when some areas were noted as
having sanitary arrangements 'of the most objectionable order'. The completion of the drainage
system raised the problem of sewage disposal,
especially in connexion with the pollution of the
Fowlea Brook. It was not until 1879, however,
that the sewage works at Bradwell Hall Farm on the
Wolstanton side of the brook south of Middleport
was opened; extensions on the Burslem side of the
brook were completed in 1908 (British History Online).
- The preserved Abbey Pumping Station in Leicester is contemporary.

"The grandest of the post first world war "reformed pubs" built on a vast scale in a picturesque highly successful Vernacular Revival combining Midlands half timbering and Cotswold stone, giving the impression, in its loose planning, of a gradual evolution from late medieval to Jacobean. The quality of detailing and materials embodies the best of the Birmingham Arts and Crafts tradition." Listing

and other diseases. Beer became the most popular drink and
brewing became big business. Christchurch had 6 breweries, 16 inns and 26 alehouses when the local
population was less than four thousand. In the late C19, Boscombe was discovered to have springs with similar properties to Harrogate spa.

- I've found some pictures of Lambert Ginger Beer bottles online - I can't be sure that there's a link but it seems likely, and worth exploring further. There is a snippet on the Dorset Antique Bottles Facebook page that "Lambert took over from Laney's around 1907. Then Lambert was taken over by Saul & Pettey in 1908". And an address of 13 Cotlands Road (now redeveloped).

- Stanley Lambert (1881-1945)
- 1901: At home in Kings Norton. Telephone inspector.
- Married Lilian Ethel Bottom (1883-1960) in 1909 in Aston
- He was an electrician for the National Telephone Company, and they lived in 227 Beaumont Road, Bournville. Tesco was refused an alcohol license in 2019 because Bournville was set up on Quaker principles in the 1890s. Bournville was built by the Cadbury family and the (multinational subsidiary of Mondelez International) company website has a history of the area.
- In 1939, he describes himself as a 'civil service engineer' for the Post Office, and they live at 62 Featherstone Road.

- Married Margaret Gardner (1892) in Kings Norton in 1911
- Royal Naval Volunteer Service in WWI
- 1939: 235 Fordhouse Lane, [Stirchley] Birmingham. He is chocolate flavour. There is probably another word after that, lost in the scan... This will mean that he worked for Cadbury, which was a mile from the house. I note that his next door neighbour was a packer for Cadbury.
- Cadbury expanded its product range with Flake (1920), Creme eggs (1923), Fruit and Nut (1928), and Crunchie
(1929, originally under the Fry's label). By 1930, Cadbury was the
24th-largest British manufacturing company as measured by estimated
market value of capital. Dairy Milk Whole Nut arrived in 1933, and tins of Roses were introduced in 1938. Roses has become a very popular Christmas (and Mother's Day) gift. Chocolate ceased to be a luxury product and became affordable to the working classes for the first time. By the mid-1930s, Cadbury estimated that 90 percent of the British population could afford to buy chocolate. By 1936, Dairy Milk accounted for 60 percent of the UK milk chocolate market.
