They made bottles for most of the South West Englan regidonal breweries - I have a few (Rogers Jacob Street Brewery, Oakhill Brewery, North Somerset Brewery, Holts Burnham Brewery, Arnold & Hancocks Taunton Brewery, etc). They also embossed the name of the brewery on the side of the bottle so if you can get one of these you'll be able to identify the wreck better. Anyway, the P&R logo was around till about 1915 or so. The City Archivist, Bristol City Council, Council House, College Green, Bristol might also be able to help.
