Full Description
Casual Observation, 4 July 2007.
Brewery founded 1881. Mineral water factory added in 1883, built by William Morton. Details were found in a bottle hidden in a wall. Later used as an apple store and then became a fish and chip shop (1948-1989) being one of the last to use a coal fired range. Main brewery buildings demolished but the stables, outbuildings and underground cistern still remain.
