Cheadle Hulme, Manchester by admin http://blog.breweryhistory.com/2008/04/10/hardys-crown-brewery-cheadle-hulme-manchester/#comment-21 admin Sun, 13 Apr 2008 10:28:55 +0000 http://blog.breweryhistory.com/2008/04/10/hardys-crown-brewery-cheadle-hulme-manchester/#comment-21 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? Thanks for your query

Later acquired by Wilson's brewery in 1896 with 19 public houses. Perhaps Joseph joined the board of Wilson's after the takover? Wilson's later became part of the Watney empire.

To make a post you log in (towards the bottom of the LHS of the web site) and as an editor you should have an option on the screen displayed to make a post. As part of this on the RHS you will have alist of categories that you cann allocate it to, or you may be able to create a new one - not sure if thsi is there for Editors. Let me know how you get on Cheers Jeff Hi Chris

It comes through straight away and it is then just a matter of me seeing the email and responding. It can be set to not need moderation so that is one of the optons we will need to consider in due course. Cheers Jeff Hi Chris
