Hardy’s Crown Brewery, (?) Cheadle Hulme, Manchester
I want to find a link to Hardy’s past Owners/licensees?
My great grandfather, Walter Wilde operated a Hardy’s Brewery in Manchester in about 1880 -90s.

Thanks for your query
The only entry related to Hardy or Wilde in Manchester in our flagship book - ‘A Century of British Brewers - Plus’, which covers the 10,000 or so breweries that we are aware of having been in operation in the period 1890 - 2004, is hardy’s Crown Brewery of 87 Renshaw St.
This was registered in May 1889, was acquired by United Breweries in 1962 and was demolished in 1965.
Unfortunately this does not mention Mr Wilde but perhaps a BHS member in the area knows more?
