Love this. And living in Stoke, this has intrigued me. Watch out for any green bottles with ridges as they used to be used for poisons. Sometimes they were also blue.
At 1:37 that is a telegraph insulator. I collect them, but that is the most common "standard" no1 style. All of those bottles on the surface are modern 1940s or 50s onwards glass sadly, but if you dug down, you'd find older victorian stuff!

The candle actually looks like something Bromine which is a highly dangerous substance, you crack the glass above it thats what gives it the shape
Interesting finds
Stunning finds. You are right not to disclose the location but how interesting were all of those? Thanks for this one. All the best. Dave✅✅
Think the solid glass one could have been a stopper for a decanter
Some nice finds.

were you able to find out about the bottles?
None of these are Victorian, the earliest are 1940s with most being 1960s.
