Title: Courage Brewery being demolished, 1980 [Go to resource]
Description: View of Courage's site across Lower Turk Street looking towards the High Street. Demolition is in progress . The London firm Courage's bought the brewery from Henry Hall in 1903 and ran trains daily to the city from their own railway siding. Peak production was in 1950 when 250,000 barrels were produced but brewing was transferred to Reading in 1969 and Alton became a canning, kegging and distribution depot. Bass bought the whole site in 1979 and demolished much of the old premises to build a new brewery which opened in 1982.
