Lincoln student solves 200-year-old bottle mystery

Available for over a year

When builders in Cleethorpes dug up an old, brightly-coloured bottle, there was speculation about where it came from and how it got there, especially as it was still full of liquid. University of Lincoln student Zara Yeates researched the history of the bottle which is believed to be around 200 years old and discovered that the builders were probably wise not to drink its contents.
