I remember Jug and Bottle entrance in my local town when I was child. If you look up info on the internet you'll find one or two bits of info and the odd photo but nothing more.

Jug and bottle - Small section of pub, with a separate entrance from the street, selling drink for consumption off the premises.

In the days before supermarkets it was commonplace to have a separate area where off-sales could be made. The typical Jug and Bottle had a short corridor with a hatch at the end, usually with a bench situated near the hatch to have a beer as your jug was filled to take out.

Signs of this bygone trade are still in evidence with doorways and windows bearing the terms `Jug & Bottle', `Family Department', or `Outdoor' in etched glass.
