A pub owner in South West England has made a surprising discovery of a 50-year-old time capsule buried in the walls of a building, which dates back to the 1800s, while renovating it.
Toby Brett, the current owner of Holcombe Farmshop and Kitchen in Radstock, Somerset, said the discovery of the time capsule—which included a 1971 price list, coins, stamps, a 1 pound (approx. US$1.40) an hour wage slip, a collection of ha'pennies (halfpennies), old beer mats, and car tax discs—was a “pleasant surprise.”
