Can anyone tell me if there is a published history of the Edmondson Full Swing Mineral Water Company of Liverpool? I have a friend visiting from New Zealand who is a descendant of these Edmondsons and she is particularly interested in finding out who was the 'girl on a swing' featured on their glass bottles. We understand that there was a plaque on the front of the Empire Theatre showing this emblem and would love to know where we might obtain a photograph. Also are there any other descendants of these Edmondsons out there? Hoping someone can help. Jill Rose Farndon, Cheshire (www.namesfromclwyd.org.uk)

Hi Jill, My Name is Tony Farley, I lived in Birkett St, where Edmondsons lemonade factory was, as kids we used to work on the lemonade wagons on a Saturday or school holidays. no health and safety then, by working I mean we went out with a driver and helped him carry the lemonade into shops, for this we were paid about 2 or 3 shillings, we also were allowed in the factory, and could drink some lemonade now and then, The manager then was a Mr Griffiths,(Mr Griff) we always thought that the girl on the swing was his daughter. If you go to Liverpool picture book, picture 149,shows a picture of Commutation Row where an electric light representation of the girl on the swing, you will have to zoom in close, hope this helps.
