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. 

Hickton Brewery Nottinghamshire??

Does anyone have any information on a brewery I think existed in Nottingham some time ago. I think I saw some bottles some time ago in a local museum. Thanks!!

Allsopp’s Jubilee Ale

Hi Ray

I don’t have an example of their lager, but I do have 1935 George V Jubilee Ale and will upload an image of that.
Cheers

Allsopp’s Lager

Does anyone have a bottle of pre World War II Allsopp’s Lager or photograph of the same?  If so I would be most interested in seeing it.

Stoke on Trent

I recently visited Stoke on Trent and came across what I think was the old
Dix & Co Ltd brewery - as in Century - on the corner of Broad St and Sun Street in the Shelton area. Much of the buildings are still there which I did not expect currently masquerading as a warehouse ( I am not sure if it is open?)- but it all looks in need of some tlc.
Can you get in? is there much to see inside- I would be interested in the history since it closed in 1933?

I will try and attach a couple of photos I took in Jan 2008

Breweries & Pubs of Reigate & Redhill

Richard Symonds has started a web site covering the history of breweries and pubs in Reigate, Redhill and the surrounding areas. It is stillunder development but has been populated with the content of his recent book on the topic and is well worth a look.

He is keen to have any additional information, and related images, fed back to him.

The link is:  http://reigatebreweryhistoryhomepage.blogspot.com
