HP Brown Sauce was invented by Frederick Gibson Garton in his pickling factory at the back of 47 Sandon Street in Basford. He was living at the Royal Oak at the bottom of the street when he came up with the recipe. The original HP Sauce factory. In 1896, Garton patented the sauce but had to sell it to the Midland Vinegar Company in Birmingham for £150, due to unpaid bills to its owner Edwin Samson Moore. The original bottles, which had Garton's name embossed on the side, are worth around £100.
Nottingham Castle Museums and Galleries have one of the bottles, carefully preserved, in their possession. However, Mr Singh, the current owner of the house, admitted that when he moved in to the house 25 years ago he got rid of a skip-full of original HP Sauce bottles. They could have been worth a small fortune!

ACROSS THE ROAD Friary Church.
Friary Congregational Church, West Bridgford, in 1903. Friar Lane Chapel was founded in 1827 in Nottingham. The chapel building was begun in 1828 in the 'Dissenting Gothic' style, and was opened in 1829. In 1897 the congregation left Friar Lane for West Bridgford, but retained the name 'Friary'. They were joined by members from other Nottingham Congregational churches including Castle Gate and Park Hill. The old chapel was sold in 1899 and was subsequently demolished. For two years after 1897 services were held in the Nottinghamshire Cricket Pavilion, West Bridgford. In September 1898 the memorial stone of new schoolrooms on Musters Road, on the corner with Millicent Road, West Bridgford, was laid. The schoolrooms were opened in March 1899 and used for worship, and the following year the new church buildings were begun. The new church was officially opened in September 1901. Queens Walk Congregational Church amalgamated with Friary Church in 1970. In 1972, in common with most other Congregational Churches, Friary Church joined the United Reformed Church.
