Foreword<br />
<strong>The</strong> Brewery History Society (BHS) was founded in 1972 to promote research into all aspects of<br />
the brewing industry, to encourage the interchange of information about breweries and brewing,<br />
and to collect photographic and other archive information about brewery history. <strong>The</strong> Society<br />
publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It<br />
has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries;<br />
the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may<br />
be found at .<br />
<strong>The</strong> ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the <strong>English</strong> brewing industry was discussed at<br />
the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by <strong>English</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> (EH), the BHS and the<br />
Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the<br />
joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837<br />
-1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge<br />
Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006). Following this EH agreed to support a project<br />
on ‘<strong>The</strong> <strong>Brewing</strong> <strong>Industry</strong>’, which was carried out between July 2007 and September 2009. Its<br />
aims were to provide up to date information on all pre-1940 operating breweries, to compile a<br />
comprehensive list of historic brewery buildings (the computerised BHS Breweries Database), to<br />
consider the future of the industry’s archives, and to undertake a national assessment on the<br />
industry, in the form of a Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment report (SHIER).<br />

<strong>The</strong> project steering committee comprised Jeff Sechiari (BHS Chair), Ray Anderson (BHS<br />
President), and BHS committee members Ken Smith and Mike Bone. <strong>The</strong> project researcher was<br />
Lynn Pearson, author and BHS member. Much of the groundwork was carried out by BHS<br />
members, who contributed to a survey of England’s remaining brewery buildings. <strong>The</strong>y included:<br />
John Arguile, David Baker, Paul Bayley, Mike Brown, Des Clarke, Neil Clarke, David Cox, Tony<br />
Crosby, George Crutcher, Geoff Dye, Philip Eley, Ray Farleigh, Robert Flood, Simon Gispert,<br />
Jenny Greenhalgh, John Hodges, Tim Holt, Peter Holtham, Ian Hornsey, Bob Inman, Malcolm<br />
James, John Janaway, Ray Kirby, Chris Marchbanks, Mary Miles, Peter Moynihan, Ken Page, Ian<br />
Peaty, Steve Peck, Pat Saunders, Mark Steeds, D. J. Taylor, Alan Walker, Jeffrey Waller, Allan<br />
Whitaker and John Williamson. <strong>The</strong> steering committee and Lynn Pearson are very grateful to all<br />
those who took part in the survey.<br />
We are also grateful to others who assisted with the project, including Heloise Brown<br />
(Victorian Society), Tony Calladine, Bruce Hedge (AIA), Sue Hudson, Malcolm C. James (who<br />
kindly allowed us to see a copy of his thesis on the brewery buildings of Burton upon Trent),<br />
Joseph Mirwitch, Ann Morris, Richard Oxborrow, Amber Patrick, Kingsley Rickard, Sheila Stones<br />
and Ken Thomas (Courage <strong>Archive</strong>). We are also grateful for the support of the Association for<br />
Industrial Archaeology. In addition, we are particularly grateful to Norman Barber, former BHS<br />
Archivist, without whose earlier research our task would have been impossible.<br />
Finally we should like to thank <strong>English</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> for offering us the opportunity to carry out<br />
this project. Keith Falconer, EH Head of Industrial Archaeology, provided constant support and<br />
enthusiasm for the idea of the brewery industry project. Peter Smith, our EH Project Officer,<br />
ensured that we kept on course, while Gareth Watkins, Barney Sloane and Tim Cromack helped<br />
considerably in the project’s early stages.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Brewing</strong> <strong>Industry</strong>: <strong>Archive</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
This report attempts to summarise the changes relating to the archives of the brewing industry since the<br />
publication of Richmond and Turton’s comprehensive <strong>The</strong> brewing industry: A guide to historical records in<br />
1990. <strong>The</strong> two most notable events have been the dispersal of records: the Whitbread <strong>Archive</strong> in 2001 and<br />
the Allied Breweries <strong>Archive</strong> in 2002-3, but there have of course been many other depositions (see<br />
Appendix). In the 21st century online searching has made research much simpler, the Access to <strong>Archive</strong>s<br />
portal of the National <strong>Archive</strong>s website always being a good starting point (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/<br />
a2a/). In addition, the Business <strong>Archive</strong>s Council published its National Strategy for Business <strong>Archive</strong>s in<br />
England and Wales in July 2009.<br />
1 Major repositories of brewing industry archives and books<br />
1.1 London Metropolitan <strong>Archive</strong>s<br />
40 Northampton Road, London EC1R 0HB<br />
020 7332 3820 www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/lma<br />
Records held by London Metropolitan <strong>Archive</strong>s include those of large brewing companies such as Courage<br />
& Co; Watney Combe Reid; Truman Hanbury Buxton; Fuller, Smith and Turner; and London-related items<br />
from the Allied Breweries and Whitbread groups. An online catalogue is available at the London<br />
Metropolitan <strong>Archive</strong>s website.<br />
1.2 Brewery History Society <strong>Archive</strong><br />
<strong>Archive</strong>s and <strong>Heritage</strong> Service, Birmingham Central Library, Chamberlain Square, Birmingham B3 3HQ<br />
0121 303 4511 Information on the <strong>Archive</strong>s and <strong>Heritage</strong> Service may be obtained from the Birmingham<br />
City Council website www.birmingham.gov.uk<br />
<strong>The</strong> archive of the Brewery History Society, which was originally based on items from the Brewers’ Society,<br />
includes books, journals, directories, maps, labels, drawings and photographs. <strong>The</strong> catalogue runs to over<br />
300 pages; a brief version is available to read or download at www.breweryhistory.com.archive.htm<br />
1.3 Modern Records Centre<br />
University Library, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL<br />
02476 524219 www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/<br />
<strong>The</strong> Modern Records Centre holds a collection of records from various brewers’ organisations including the<br />
Brewers’ Society, Country Brewers’ Society, <strong>Brewing</strong> Patents Limited and the National Trade Defence<br />
Association. A subject guide with a brief list of holdings may be downloaded from the website.<br />
1.4 National <strong>Brewing</strong> Library<br />
Oxford Brookes University Library, Gipsy Lane, Oxford OX3 0BP<br />
01865 483136<br />
www.brookes.ac.uk/library/speccoll/brewing.html<br />
<strong>The</strong> National <strong>Brewing</strong> Library comprises over 3,500 volumes; about a quarter of the items are unique to the<br />
collection and do not appear in the catalogues of other major collections including the British Library. <strong>The</strong><br />
National <strong>Brewing</strong> Library is based on the combined libraries of the Institute of <strong>Brewing</strong>, the International<br />
Brewers’ Guild, the technical reference library of the Brewers and Licensed Retailers Association, plus the<br />
book collection contained within the Whitbread <strong>Archive</strong>. It continues to be augmented with newlypublished<br />
books related to brewing, and by donations of older books from companies and individuals. In<br />
2008 it aquired the archive of the late Michael Jackson (1942-2007), the beer writer. <strong>The</strong> National <strong>Brewing</strong><br />
Library catalogue may be downloaded from the website in various formats.<br />
1.5 Scottish <strong>Brewing</strong> <strong>Archive</strong><br />
<strong>Archive</strong> Services, 13 Thurso Street, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G11 6PE<br />
0141 3305515 www.archives.gla.ac.uk/sba/default.html<br />
As well as its huge collection of records relating to the Scottish brewing industry, the Scottish <strong>Brewing</strong><br />
<strong>Archive</strong> has a small number of items relating to <strong>English</strong> breweries. Its website includes guides to periodical<br />
holdings and an alphabetical index of company holdings.<br />
1
2 Whitbread <strong>Archive</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Whitbread <strong>Archive</strong> was closed in 2001. Some material was kept by Whitbread plc, but the core<br />
collection of historic ledgers was deposited at nearly 50 different record offices; many other items were<br />
donated to museums. London Metropolitan <strong>Archive</strong>s holds the records of Whitbread’s Chiswell Street<br />
Brewery and the company’s London area subsidiaries. <strong>The</strong>y have been catalogued, and details of the<br />
holdings - which extend for well over 100 metres of shelving - are available in the London Metropolitan<br />
<strong>Archive</strong>s online catalogue.<br />
3 Allied Breweries <strong>Archive</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Allied Breweries <strong>Archive</strong> was held at Burton upon Trent until 2002-3, when it was dispersed to 70<br />
different record offices. <strong>The</strong> story of the rescue of the archives - an estimated 7.5 tons of material - is told in<br />
Anderson and Brown (2003). Recipients of the largest amount of <strong>English</strong> material were the London<br />
Metropolitan <strong>Archive</strong>s (see section 1.1 above) and the Bass Museum (see section 4 below). Not all have yet<br />
been catalogued, and even when catalogued, they may not appear immediately on the Access to <strong>Archive</strong>s<br />
website.<br />
4 Bass <strong>Archive</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Bass <strong>Archive</strong> was still at Molson Coors <strong>Brewing</strong> Company (UK) Ltd and the Coors Visitor Centre (see<br />
Richmond and Turton p58) in early 2010. <strong>The</strong> Allied Breweries, Allsopp’s and Ind Coope records formerly<br />
held at Allied Breweries in Burton (see Richmond and Turton pp41,43,191) were transferred to the Coors<br />
Visitor Centre in 2003. Following the closure of the Visitor Centre in June 2008, it was thought that these<br />
archives might be moved to the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent <strong>Archive</strong> Service, but it appears that they<br />
will remain at what is to be the National Brewery Centre, due to open in April 2010.<br />
5 Courage <strong>Archive</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Courage <strong>Archive</strong> was formerly kept on the Courage site in Bristol (previously Bristol Brewery<br />
Georges), but brewing ceased there in 1999 and the area is currently being redeveloped. <strong>The</strong> archive is now<br />
based at Avonmouth, where there is no direct public access, although research can be undertaken by the<br />
archivist, Dr Ken Thomas (email capelnewydd@tiscali.co.uk). <strong>The</strong> postal address is: Courage <strong>Archive</strong>, c/o<br />
Harrow Green, Portview Road, Avonmouth, Bristol BS11 9JG. See Richmond and Turton pp116-9 for<br />
details of the holdings. In addition, the London Metropolitan <strong>Archive</strong>s has a large holding of Courage & Co<br />
material (ACC/2305).<br />
6 How to locate brewing archive material<br />
<strong>The</strong> first port of call in the hunt for archive material should be the Access to <strong>Archive</strong>s section of the<br />
National <strong>Archive</strong>s website (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/). <strong>The</strong> database contains catalogues<br />
describing archives held locally in England and Wales, and searching on the word ‘brewery’ produces<br />
14,017 results. <strong>The</strong>se can be narrowed down by specific local archive, or by archives in a region; for<br />
instance, the North East has 191 holdings. Use the advanced search function to search by specific brewery<br />
name. In general archive work, broader searches are often useful, for instance adding an asterisk to a word<br />
as a ‘wildcard’ - for instance brew* - where it can stand for any number of letters, in this case giving<br />
brewery, breweries, brewer and so forth. Allied topics such as malting may also provide relevant results.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>English</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> website offers access to a number of searchable photographic and archival<br />
sources; from its home page (www.english-heritage.org.uk), select the ‘Learning and Resources’ section<br />
then look for Online Resources. <strong>The</strong>se include ViewFinder, a photographic archive; Pastscape, for records<br />
in the national historic environment database; Images of England, with descriptions and photographs of<br />
listed buildings up to the year 2000; and the <strong>Heritage</strong> Gateway, which allows the user to search across<br />
national and local records of historic sites and buildings. See section 10 below for website addresses.<br />
Another useful source is the British Library’s searchable archive of British Newspapers 1800-1900. <strong>The</strong><br />
2
website http://newspapers.bl.uk/blcs/ provides a limited amount of free access, while further access can<br />
be paid for by individual subscriber and the whole site is available free of charge in some public and other<br />
libraries.<br />
Note that archives of a local brewery may not always be held locally, and even if there are holdings,<br />
they may not yet have been catalogued. Contact local repositories directly to enquire about access to<br />
specific archives. <strong>The</strong>re may also be material located in repositories abroad. Of course, many business<br />
records are still held by operating breweries. Conversely, former breweries may have virtually no archival<br />
material at all. In this case the use of other sources such as local newspapers, obituaries, directories and<br />
census returns may be necessary. <strong>The</strong> article by Peter Mathias, <strong>Brewing</strong> archives: their nature and use (1990),<br />
provides an excellent introduction to the scope and potential pitfalls of research into the brewing industry.<br />
See also Gutzke (2005) for guidelines on writing historical articles related to the brewing industry.<br />
7 Dealing with archival problems resulting from brewery closures<br />
Some brewery closures take place over a long period, and it should then be possible to plan ahead, in<br />
conjunction with the relevant local depository (see section 8), if the company concerned wishes to deposit<br />
archival material. If possible, build a relationship with the company over the long term, with the aim of<br />
ensuring that as much archival material is safely deposited well before closure. In an emergency, when a<br />
plant closure is imminent and archives are endangered, the first move is to attempt to establish relations<br />
with the company, in order to assist them in dealing with what they may perceive only as a short-term<br />
space problem. Try to obtain access to the archive material, and make an initial survey of what is<br />
particularly important; it may be possible to obtain help from a local repository. Even at this late stage it<br />
may be worth trying to encourage the company to gift or loan at least some of their material to a<br />
depository, rather than simply get rid of it as waste. If the company will allow access and removal of<br />
material, but nothing else by way of support for moving the archive, then the Brewery History Society or a<br />
local repository may be able to offer assistance. As the rescue of the Allied Breweries <strong>Archive</strong> (see section 3)<br />
showed, it is an extremely time-consuming and costly task to sort, pack and disperse a large amount of<br />
material when a deadline is in sight.<br />
8 Guidance on depositions<br />
<strong>The</strong> Business <strong>Archive</strong>s Council’s website www.businessarchivescouncil.org.uk is a useful source of<br />
information for potential depositors of records. It advises that many businesses may not realise that their<br />
historical records can be a valuable research resource; records can sometimes be seen simply as taking up<br />
valuable office or warehouse space. Most archive repositories maintain policies of free public access. Any<br />
deposit of records can be made either as a gift or as a long-term loan, although most repositories prefer the<br />
records to be gifted, avoiding future ownership and copyright issues. <strong>The</strong> chances of a repository accepting<br />
a collection are greater if it is comprehensive, that is it has not been ‘cherry-picked’ by the company for<br />
items of obvious interest or value. A repository may have to be tempted to accept a collection by the offer<br />
of exceptionally interesting or rare items. Most local repositories have websites that carry information for<br />
depositors, setting out the kind of records in which they are interested, their geographical area of collection<br />
and their terms of agreement for gifting or loans. <strong>The</strong>y may also offer advice as to which items are of<br />
historical importance. A searchable list of local repositories - the ARCHON Directory - may be found on the<br />
National <strong>Archive</strong>s website at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archon/default.htm<br />
9 <strong>Brewing</strong> artefacts<br />
Although paper archives are well served by the various record offices, the situation is not as good for<br />
artefacts; there is no national brewing museum. Little brewing equipment appears to currently be<br />
preserved by the national museums, although many items from the Whitbread <strong>Archive</strong> were donated to<br />
museums in 2001. Until its closure in June 2008, the Coors Visitor Centre (previously Bass Museum of<br />
<strong>Brewing</strong>) at Burton upon Trent was in effect England’s only national brewing museum. <strong>The</strong> site is due to<br />
reopen in April 2010 as the National Brewery Centre.<br />
