Forget the stories about the chemist shop next door to the gun shop making up a sauce brew which was inedible until it was accidentally stored in the cellar for 6 months. I think they were working on a new formula for browning barrels and decided to taste it. Only joking!!
59 Broad Street Worcester was next door to the Chemist shop where the sauce was discovered. Although the founders of the two businesses were only born 8 years apart and 12 miles between them we haven't as yet found a direct connection.
I suppose the barrel colouration is somewhat similar!! Maybe we should get the sauce owners to sponsor the web site?
