Three Mills
In one of the pits, two pieces of glass that fit perfectly together, were uncovered. It is believed to be a bottle. The bottom of the bottle reads "J & W N & Co." After more research, nothing could be found about J & W N & Co, except for one article about the Three Mills in London. As a side picture, there was a label from a gin bottle published by J & W N & Co. Bingo. The bottle is believed to have been a gin bottle produced by J & W Nicholson & Co, a London-based gin company. Founded by William Nicholson, a retired amateur cricket player, the company was in production from the 1730's-1941, inhabiting in the Three Mills from 1872-1966.
Now the big question: What is a gin bottle produced in London doing in Unity, Me?
