“Excavators discovered untouched bottles full of of brandy and crockery branded with the 18th-century landlord of the Astley Arms.
...
Some of the recovered pottery items were inscribed with the name of Thomas Evans, the pub’s landlord in 1821.”

The bottle pictured in the article is circa 1900 not early 1800’s.
