Description: | View of Courage's site across Lower Turk Street looking towards the High Street. This picture is taken from a standpoint slightly to the left of that in picture HS 377. Demolition is in progress . On the right can be seen the roof of the cold liquor tank with its distinctive weathervane - see picture HS 369. 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. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Margaret Smith | Subjects: | brewery building demolition Courage street factory Lower Turk Street Hall, Henry brewing Bass | Temporal: | start=1980-09-01; end=1980-09-30; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Margaret Smith | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
