Suace of the 1950s
I am trying to find information on Peters Brown Sauce.
I know it from the late 1940s and early 1950s. It may only have been available in the Norwich area.
I've tried Colmans, HP, Heinze and the local rag.
Anyone remember it and do you have a picture that may only show it in the backround?

The factory was Potters Vinegar and Pickles Works Chapelfield Road, Norwich.
The firm was founded in 1880 by E.W. (Edmund Woodhouse) Potter at 62 Coburg Street, Norwich. Edmund Potter had been a former employee of the largest vinegar producer in the city, Hills and Underwood. He did not make the usual malt vinegar and subsequent legislation declared it illegal to call the product 'vinegar'; it was referred to as 'non-brewed condiment'. The manufacturing process was quicker, cheaper and the product had better keeping properties. The firm passed to the founder' son Charles Legard Potter (c 1912-late 1920s) and subsequently to his son, Ernie Potter. The factory closed down in 1964/5.
I am now searching for living relatives of Ernie Potter who may be able to shed a bit more light on the sauce.
