I recall the brewery was built on the site of a previous business, the main reason was so they could drill their own borehole down to the artesian well which lies under the area. Newton's, later GKN also used water from the artesian well. Teffenyes there is
i believe its dowm thimble mill lane aston ,
and its called aston mannor brewery
i cannot recall when it first started , many years ago just after that ansells brewey
started to close down ,and the reduncies was started to be given out
there was a number of the ansells worker got together
with there money pulled tgether and started up the cosortem
and made a start and named it aston mannor brewery
eventualy as time went on i think they was struggling
then a guy , whom was DOUG ELLISS,S VILLA DIRECTOR ] SON IN LAW - OR BROTHER INLAW ,
MOVED IN AND BAILED THEM OUT AND TOOK OVER
AND EXPANED THE BREWERY , AND THEY ARE STILL THERE TODAY ,
BEST WISHES ASTONIAN ,;;;
