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

The book only makes mention that the Milnshaw Brewery Co was originally founded by Thomas Thwaites. Mayhap Bentley was a business partner and took over the major undertakings very soon after the start-up?
