Good to see a building like this so well restored.Joe Treasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452665782271458318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-22670376258740148352014-11-11T12:18:04.011+00:002014-11-11T12:18:04.011+00:00Peter: Thank you.

McMullen's brewery still towers over the town centre and, do you know, I <i>think</i> they still brew there. They certainly have the address 26 Old Cross, which is there or thereabouts.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-69305750720104992852014-11-11T11:57:11.664+00:002014-11-11T11:57:11.664+00:00Wonderful.

McMullen's also gave their name to the town's biggest brewery, a dray from which is featured in Tom Gentleman's School Print of Hertford called 'Grey Horses'. The boy standing in the foreground is his son, David. I think the brewery is still in business, but probably now in some out-of-town shed. Like Brakespear's.Peter Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027878122724846472noreply@blogger.com
