Original recipes for Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce rescued from a skip

A book featuring what may be the original recipes for Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce is set to go on display at a museum after being rescued from a skip.

Experts at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum are now attempting to date the historic find to establish whether it contains the earliest recipes for the world famous condiment.

But officials say there is no doubt that the book, recovered by accountant Brian Keogh outside Lea and Perrins’ Worcester factory in the 1980s, includes genuine 19th century recipes for the sauce.
