Advert from Stockton-on-Tees Illustrated Book ,1893 for ‘The ‘Clan Fell’ Scotch Snuff’, sold at number 87 High Street, Stockton.
Scotch is a whisky not a nation, so this snuff must be a whisky snuff. A mistake made by many to the disgust of the true Scotsman.
No. 87 High Street, puts this establishment next door to the Grey Horse Hotel (corner of High St. & Yarm Lane). 1890 Trade directory lists E Newbegin, Tobacco Manufacturer, 87 High St.
