Re: Beer & Pop
From the 1951 Barretts Directory:-
Ale & porter bottlers: Kay & grimshaw, Jacob St/ James rennard, Birch st/ John Simpson Ltd, Bertha St
Brewers: Hope & Anchor Breweries, Hyndburn rd
.................................................. ...................
A member of the Stocks family tells me that (1960s) the firm used tap water rather than a well, and is unaware of there being a well on the premises. He does recall that across the road, where Bank Brewery was, a hole appeared in the path around the small garden area mid-60s. It was believed to have been caused by there being a well underneath, I thibnk this may be why that bit of land has never been built on.
