... that in 2010 a blue poison bottle saying "not to be taken" was excavated from the wheel pit of Knowles Mill? Source: "Medicine bottles included a bottle of Venos lightning cough cure, a medicine bottle with dosage marks and a bottle from the Homeopathic Hospital, Birmingham, which occupied various premises in Birmingham from 1845 onwards. One small blue poison bottle was also noted, embossed with the words NOT TO BE TAKEN." [Halsted, Jon; Hewitson, Chris; Booth, Tim (2010). Knowles Mill, Wyre Forest, Bewdley, Worcestershire - Historic Building Recording, Archaeological Evaluation. Birmingham: Birmingham Archaeology. pp.21. - the source isn't available online, but I would be pleased to email a copy to the reviewer]

- Comment: Conflict of Interest: I started the Knowles Mill page as part of a paid pilot for the National Trust. I looked at WP:DYKSG, but did not see that I would be precluded from nominating it as a DYK. If I am, I'm very happy to retract the nomination. There's more detail on the pilot and the work I've been undertaking here: User:Lajmmoore/National Trust

Overall: I've checked a few sources and all looks good there. The COI is not an issue to me, given it's for the National Trust (and all correct processes have been followed)—we had Gibraltarpedia issues a decade ago but that was mainly an issue of scale, I believe. Two small suggestions for improvement: (1) corn mill in the first sentence could be linked; (2) perhaps it's my ignorance, but I didn't know what a coppice was, so "Knowles Coppice" could be "The woodland Knowles Coppice" for context. — Bilorv (talk) 12:14, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for the positive review @Bilorv: and for the tips on improving the article's clarity, those points have been addressed. Lajmmoore (talk) 12:50, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
