A Higsons Brewery LAD Albion on promotional and advertising work at
Fairlanes Bowling Centre which I believe was at New Brighton on the
Wirral Peninsular. It was not Lawn Bowling, it was 10 Pin bowling which
became very popular in the 1960s.

Joseph Holt is a brewery at Cheetam Hill in Manchester. Years ago, John Wilkinson and I used to
call at one of their pubs, The Douglas Bank, on the way home from work for a swift half of bitter.
Holts draught bitter is one of the best beers that I have ever had. Ray Smyth.

Watney’s red barrel, remember that, Buzzer
Yes, unforgettable (for the wrong reasons). When I was a lad Watneys were local to me, they had a big brewery by the Thames at Mortlake. We had a saying; What have Watneys brewery and Watneys beer got in common?
They’re both near water.

Do you remember the red barrel key rings? Probably bring a decent price today on Ebay.
Timothy Taylor brewery is in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Their “Landlord” Bitter is a favourite
drink of mine, whether on draught or from a bottle. I get my Landlord Bitter supplies from
Sainsbury`s in 500 ml bottles, which nicely fill a pint glass. Cheers, Ray.

My mum was the Distribution Manager’s Secretary at Chester’s Brewery in Salford way back in the early 60’s and having a job title Manager’s Secretary did carry a bit of kudos back then, she was the only person who could note take in shorthand, a very desirable skill along the ability to touch type, she still used a typewriter in her 80’s
