The Alcock & Brown 1919 landing site for the very first non-stop transatlantic flight is about 4km from this bottle. They flew eastwards across the ocean in a Vickers Vimy and saw what they thought was a verdant green landing strip beside the Marconi radio station. Unfortunately, it was a bog.  Luckily they weren't hurt.
