Looking at various pics of the district around Christ Church Perry Barr I noticed a distinctive building which had the 'look' of a brewery. The building is to the right and below of the sports track in the 1st pic below linked to post#18 and also can be seen near the top in the 2nd pic which shows demolition taking place in the late 1960s for building of the university campus. A look on a map link here https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/sid...at=52.5197&lon=-1.8960&layers=6&right=BingHyb confirmed that a Wellhead Brewery was there and a search of the BHF produced some information but nothing definite. Further searching led me to an account about the owner Councillor Edgar Evans - Brewer and Maltster it is here https://www.search.birminghamimages...ID=3281&PageIndex=1&KeyWord=Edgar&SortOrder=2
There appears to be little information about it's beer and pubs it supplied and perhaps the brewery was too small to compete with larger brewing companies.
