Anyone remember Waterhouses Relish,my mam used to buy it in one of the terraced shops on the left going down Duke St.when I were a sprog.always preferred it to Hendersons.

I remember a similar relish which was made in Rotherham.

It was in the same bottle with the same coloured label as Hendersons but for the life of me I cannot remember the maker's name.

Maybe someone out there can let us know.

Happy Days!

Yep that sounds like Waterhouses,both looked very similar except for details on the label,did'nt know it was made in Roth though

Hendersons Relish Talking about the row of shops on the left hand side going down Duke st, I think the shop you are thinking about was in between Berries the chemist and Shentalls just below Norwich St (around 1936)

Would that have been " Waterhouses Yorkshire Relish"?
I remember when we used to buy pies from a little shop on Tapplin Rd, Hillsborough, doused with a relish with the name 'Yorkshire 'in it.

Henderson.s Relish was made (and still is) on Leavygrieve Rd Back of west St The original factory was at the top of Hounsfield Rd My girl worked there in 1938 She says she heard about Waterhouses but can.t give any details

Over here in Australia you can not buy Hendersons or Waterhouses Yorkshire relish but I did come across a Hammons Yorkshire relish .They taste the same to me maybe they are made by the same co but stick different labels on the bottles.

When we visited our sister in Adelaid We always had to take a gallon container of Henderson.s Relish and 6 cans of"Stoowensus" Best Bitter or to the well spoken folks, Stones Best Bitter That was the admission fee to get in the house Happy days PS and a copy of the star and the Green .un

Yes Sweetdexter I think you are probably right about the "Yorkshire" bit

Reply to Milted! Don't ever remember a Norwich St. in Sheff,did you mean Talbot St. it ran off Duke St. along the top of the "Norfolk Cinema" with the "Oddfellows" pub opposite, both now long gone,and across the other side of Duke St. is the "New inn" (Still standing & open) Can't remember the names of the shops though down Duke St. exept Shaw's the butcher.

Would love to know where you can buy Hammons relish so I can sample when I run out of my hoard of Hendersons.
Hendersons can be bought via the internet

For old smiffy Can you rememberthe next streetthat ran off Duke St below the "Norfolk"picture palace was Road St The next one down was Long Henry St The next one down was Norwich st Berries the chemist was on one corner and Gallons was on the other It ran from Duke St to South St,Passing the top of Park Board School Remember I lived on Road St in 1928 Yea, I.m an old codger Cheers mate

To old smiffy You sound like an old Park lad Werabouts did you live it, s nearly all gone now Sad eh

For old smiffy Bit more for you to think about The shops going down Duke St from below the Norfolk were Gallons The Meadow Diary, Shentalls and B and C Co-op

You could try the big stores Coles or Safeways in Sydney or Canberra or do what I did went to the store manager and ask them to get some. I have not seen it in Melbourne for a while. I still have the real thing Good luck Alan.

Thanks.It's just that I am on my way to Lilydale tomorrow for a few weeks.I will keep my eyes open.

Reply to Milted,I lived on Fellbrig Rd.that's right at the top of Cherry Wood It's still there, went down there on Wed.looks pretty much the same to me except for a bit of upgrading.spent half my younger days down in the wood back in the 40's & 50's and playing on the tip bottom of Arbourthorne Rd. where a lot of the bombing rubble was tipped. Course the big estate was'nt there then,that was all farmland,and the church that used to be a pub was'nt there either.Is the cafe still there at the top of Norfolk Park?we alvays called that "The Pavillion"spent many a happy hour in there also. I left the area around 1960 when we moved to the Foxwood estate for a bigger house,hav'nt been back much since,till this week,lost contact with all the old pals altogether,sometimes wonder what they're all doing now, bet some are gone. Oh I,d better stop before I go off on one,must be havin' a senior moment.Regards to everybody, Owdsmiffy.

For owdsmiffy You bought back some old memories for me The tip at the back of the side entrance to Norfolk Park(never knew the name of the road) we used to camp there Some old sacks for a tent Of course,it was all open fields then Into the park around the tea rooms ( Pavilion ) Cherry wood ,the pond,the bandstand. Happy happy days Did you go to Manor Council School I think I am a bit before your time ole pal I'm 84 now Cheers mate

Hi.Milted yes,I'm just a lad at 65 (Well nearly)I went to Norfok school (or Craddock Rd as it was known then) we used to run over the tip & the fields between Arbourthorne Rd. & Northern Avenue to get to school.I'm not sure you're talking about the same tip though,did you mean the entrance that came out into the unmade part of St.Aidens Rd.? there was a tip there,it was mostly ashes and was almost always on fire in one place or another.Dangerous place to be !!!!!! Regards Owdsmiffy.

hi i have just found a old waterhouses bottle & im trying to find out how old the bottle is . it is about 4" high & would have had a bung top can anyone give me any info on the company? thanks

Worked at Henderson's recently, couldn't believe it's only a quaint two-man operation. Took some photos of their "plant" to show the missus :surprised

Over here in Australia you can not buy Hendersons or Waterhouses Yorkshire relish but I did come across a Hammons Yorkshire relish .They taste the same to me maybe they are made by the same co but stick different labels on the bottles.

Henderson's definitely don't stick different labels on the bottles :(

the bottle i found does not have a label the name is moulded into glass
