Lowcock's Lemonade Label

I want to start out by making it clear that I am NOT affiliated with Lowcock’s Lemonade in any past, present, or future capacity. I maintain this page purely because I get contacted about Lowcock’s Lemonade. Usually from people who are trying to order a bottle or crate.

To be 100% clear I cannot help you buy or order Lowcock’s Lemonade. On a more friendly note, thanks for visiting and I hope you find the page useful and it helps you relive some memories.

Lowcock’s Lemonade seems to hold a special place in the hearts of people from the North East of England. English comedian and TV personality, Vic Reeves, makes passing reference to Lowcock’s Lemonade in his memoir which you can buy on Amazon.com or preview here on Google Books.

All photos and images are “as is”. That means they are as I found, discovered, or was supplied by others. Please don’t ask for a bigger, clearer or photo from another angle as I don’t own and didn’t take the originals. All photos and images remain the copyright of the original photographer. If you want to share photos, please contact me.  I always try and give credit to the original source material.

A sincere thanks to Richard Lowcock, who is from the original Lowcock’s Lemonade family, for sharing memorabilia with me. Richard was the 5th Generation of the family to work in the business until it was sold in 1992.

Lowcock’s Lemonade: Original Founders / Family

Firstly, I need to state again (for the record) I am no relation… OK, now that is out of the way. The first photos are of Walter Joseph Lowcock, at his new premises in Greta St. I believe Walter is the man seated on the far left. Walter Joseph is the man whose name appears on other memorabilia and grew the company. All the boxes they are sitting on are Lowcock’s Lemonade boxes. Walter passed away about 2 years after this photo was taken.
