What is recorded here

This brass commemorative plaque records: These here bottles have remained untouched since 1725, when the then landlord dropped dead after touching them, his wife proclaimed them cursed and they have remained locked in this window ever since for the protection of all who pass by, although other eerie happenings still continue within.
The Dirty Bottles are associated with a local legend of supernatural events dating back to 1725; their enduring presence untouched for nearly three centuries makes them a notable curiosity in folklore and local history.
