A very rare antique white ironstone cylinder ointment pot, decorated on the face with black underglaze typography for Leach. F.R.C.V.S (Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons) of Newmarket.
 
Home of many horse racing stables and the famous jockey school, census records of Newmarket as early as 1892 show Leach, Edward Hugh, F.R.C.V.S. veterinary surgeon & shoeing smith in an address in Upper Station Road, then in 1896 the business operating from 16 & 16A High Street.
 
Originally from Wigan, Edward Leach was a major Veterinary name in the town and built properties that still exist today. His brother Felix followed from Wigan and established himself as a notable racehorse trainer. His three sons followed in his footsteps, notably at Meddler Stud in Kentford, which the family continued to own up until November 2001.
