Great to see the detail on the site. I have a bottle which is embossed as Frodsham Mineral Co Ltd and I saw in the geneology that the first recorded 'Edge' was from Frodsham. I just wondered if this was coincidence or whether the Edge Family of later years had links with this bottle of mine. I found it in the ground in Frodsham when I grew up there in the 70's. The bottle has a wooden screw top which is still a snug fit and I would like to find out more about it hence the post on your blog. Thanks

Hi i was just having a browse and found out that your family lived at 21 Westwood Avenue Timperley where i live now. (since 1985). Could you let me know the dates when you lived in Westwood Avenue? Thanks
Tony Edge:
Hi John
We lived at number 21 Westwood Avenue from about 1947 to about 1960.
Many thanks for leaving comments in my guestbook about 21 Westwood Avenue
It brings back many happy memories.
My late Fathers Grandfather owned number 26 Westwood Avenue and number 28 Westwood Avenue Timperley.
In the will of Arthur Edge both properties were valued at £960.10d.
Very different to the prices today.
My dad talked about family friends the Astles old Mr Astles built all the houses on
Westwood Avenue he built them so well and selling prices did not reflect the cost of building he went bankrupt.
My dad spent his happy childhood days at 26 Westwood Avenue.
We moved from 26 Brookfield drive when I was about 2 1947. and
Moved to 21 Westwood Avenue Timperley.
I remember the house well I had the back bedroom on the left at the top of the long
Stairs it was cold in winter I remember the amazing patters of frost on the inside of the windows only clearing by lunchtime.
One Christmas eve when I was four they had some coal and a bunker delivered
I thought it was Father Christmas and hurried to bed.
Christmas time was great in that big old house with family parties of over 20 guests.
Grandma lived across the road at number 26.
My Granny lived at 113 Moss Lane.
The garden at number 21 was quite small
Dad took over the orchard at 113 Moss lane we had an extended garden to Grannies.
Dad built me a Hornby railway track on the floor of the attic of 21 Wsetwood Avenue.
In the box room off the attic I learned about photography how to develop and print 120 films. Johnson’s universal developer and hypo fixer, D163.
Dad talked about a bomb dropping on the house next to Grandama it demolished the side of the building.
I remember the old gas lights on Westwood Avenue.
And the milkman coming round with a horse and cart loaded with two milk Churns delivering to the houses. Milk tokens instead of money.
At the bottom of Westwood Avenue was a passage along by the old railway the left hand side took you to Moss Lane Bridge and the right towards West Timperley.
We loved watching the steam trains at the sidings to the right of Westwood Avenue
I got into a spot of bother when I was 6.
There used to be a bridge over the sidings I sat on the bridge with a long piece of string with a magnet picking out bit of metal out of the railway wagons.
We moved away from Westwood Avenue around 1960 when I was 14.
Regards
Tony Edge.

Hi John
You might find this interesting:-
A few minutes later we heard and felt an almighty explosion, the shed shook, “Oh my God, what ever are we going to do,” exclaimed Mum. She found out later that a land mine had demolished a house on Westwood Avenue

Just wondering if the Plymouth Grove you mention is actually Plymouth Grove West, and was the factory adjacent to the Daisy Works Building on Stockport Rd.? I seem to recall a mineral water factory just down a laneway next to the Daisy Works. I used to live on Plymouth Grove West next to the school. I left Manchester in June of 1958 My favourite soda was Dandelion & Burdock (made by A.Edge of course) Very enjoyable reading your article, it brought back memories. Thank You...Len Thomson
Tony Edge:
Hi Len
Thank you so much for leaving a message in the Arthur Edge Guestbook.
I am still reseaching the history of the Mineral Water Works
I have not been able to find anything about the original works at Plymouth Grove.
The business moved I guess around 1920 to Stockport Road
Just opposite the daisy works.
The postal address was Plymouth Avenue.
The map of the works can be found on the home page
http://www.arthur-edge.com/pics/image009.jpg
The picture has been shrunk to optimise for speed in loading
I must make a link for a higher quality map sometime soon.
The 8mm film show a lorry driving out of the garage turning left towards Manchester.
Towards the end of the film you can see a lorry exiting Plymouth Avenue
Towards Stockport Road with the Daisy Works in the background.
I am still looking for any stories and if you have any thoughts I have started
A SMF forum its seems quite good its great for adding topics and letting
Visitors add comments to postings.

The only thing positive I can help with is a list of Soft Drink Manufacturers 1948 (from the National Association of Soft Drink Manufacture Soft Drinks Trade Manual)
Some of the trade names may trigger a few memories
The link is at the bottom of my home page http://www.arthur-edge.com
http://www.arthur-edge.com/nat-pics/index.htm
Sometime soon I will include a list of manufactures dated 1939
There are about 20 pages to scan in from the book so this will take
Some time.
I don’t have any credit left on any genealogy sites at the moment so can’t
Delve deeper into the research.
Sadly I have no paperwork or ledgers of Edge’s soft drinks.
I only have the wills of my late fathers (Arthur Edge) Grandfather also named
Arthur Edge.
My Grandma (nee Mabel Edge) and her mothers will Lillian Edge (nee Carr)
The timeline for the family

Best of luck
