Manchester Classified Telephone Directory 1955 - 'Brewers and Bottlers'

            A fascinating collection of names here - both local breweries as well as the offices of some of the 'national' brands - and almost all gone over the years including some 'big' names like Wilsons. A few do survive, against the odds - Joseph Holt's and J W Lees, along with Hydes who no longer brew at the Anvil. I suppose the biggest survivor is Robinsons in Stockport. The Rochdale & Manor Brewery is of family interest as my Grandad Clegg worked there after declining health forced him out of the Eagle Mill. It was owned by Sam Smith's of Tadcaster, accounting for the number of Sam's houses, isolated, in the Rochdale area.
