INDEX OF BRISTOL SOFT DRINK COMPANIES:
Click here for Wine & Spirit Merchants or Brewers.

    There was a well researched book published by a friend many years ago, which unfortunately is long out of print, entitled "Bristol Mineral Water Companies, 1830-1980" by Aled and Siân Rees. It was a pioneering work in the research of local companies. Aled was very young when the book was written, but he has never given up collecting, so the diversity of known bottles and volume of information and work needed to therefore be done, to update this database of knowledge, is huge. We hope to team up with Aled and a few other keen local collectors and historians, to bring to light this fascinating history. When each of the names in the list below becomes a blue hyperlink, then you will know there is a research page for that company that you can connect to. As with the Wiltshire site I will try and work my way through roughly alphabetically as time permits.
