A man from the UK recently discovered a 40-year-old time capsule dating back to 1971 in a wall of the pub that he owned. He had discovered this while renovating the 200 building. The time capsule included a price list from 1971, a few pounds of ha’ppenies (or halfpennies), stamps, a wage slip, old beer mats and car tax discs, SWNS reported.
Toby Brett, 41, has owned Holcombe Farmshop and Kitchen, in the English town of Radstock for 11 years and is the one who had discovered this. “It was certainly a surprise to find it. It was a really pleasant find, there’s some really interesting stuff in there,” Brett told SWNS.
“It was quite funny to see the price list from 1971 for Wadworth Brewery, which is a brewery we still use today. It’s definitely changed a bit since then,” Brett added. He went on to say that funnily enough, there was even a note of apology from whom so ever had only left halfpennies to be put in the time capsule.
According to SWNS, a letter included in the time capsule explains that previous owner E. Pockson did some “major alterations” to the building in 1973 with the help of Oakhill Brewery Development, a now-defunct property developer.
