Description: | The Wardwick Tavern is a well proportioned three storey inn, built in 1708 for the Alsop family, although parts of an earlier stone building still remain. After the Alsops sold the pub, it was purchased by the Lowes, a well known brewing family, who built a brewery at the rear. This was considerably enlarged by the Alton family when they came into ownership. In the 1930s the brewery buildings were demolished to make way for a Telephone Exchange, which itself was replaced 40 years later. The remaining premises were used until the late 1960s as brewery offices, until in 1969; Allied Breweries opened their redundant offices as a pub. | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | North East Midland Photographic Record | Source: | Picture the Past OAI feed | Creator: | Eardley, Denis | Identifier: | http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/fronten... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | Go to resource |
