If Thwaites owned the brewery from 1888 to 1946 , how could it have been sold to Smith's in 1926? Was it that Smith's only took the pubs? I've never heard that a Bentley was related to the Thwaites'. There is someone on this forum who is researching the Bentley family. I will have a looksee.

When offered for sale in 11926, it wqas revealed that the brewery had itys own well.

Thanks DtheP47. Fascinating stuff. It means I will have to spend some time in my favourite spot - Accy library.
