My Thwaites mate has dropped the book off and you can blow me down with a feather. What a tome with some tremendous pictures.
It will take me a while to read but skimming it has given up these snippets:
In 1926 Smith’s Tadcaster Brewery had taken over the Milnshaw Brewery of Accrington, originally founded by the uncle of Elma Yerburgh, Daniel Thwaites only daughter who owned the brewery from 1888 to 1946 one Thomas Thwaites.
The Fountain Free Brewery & Co Ltd of Rishton was an acquisition target and once the purchase was finalised in May 1927 brewing at the Red Cap Brewery immediately discontinued as was that at the recently acquired Henry Shaw & Co Ltd’ New Salford Brewery.
Here’s one for you young cashman:
In 1906 the Stanley Football Club, Accrington asked Thwaites for a donation; the club had long played on the ground adjacent to the Grey Horse, a Thwaites public house, and with the support of the landlord their application was successful.
