Brewery History Sites

Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P.
I found this very interesting site this morning. It lists pubs where you can see the old logos from breweries no longer in operation. Some of the logos are on buildings and some of them are on the windows of the pubs, etc. There is a West Midlands section and a Warwickshire one as well with Ansells, M&B etc. plus ones from all over the country.

Where is Beards brewery in the list.I think they were in Balsall Heath road. Most probably at a pub .Les Beard once owned the Hollybush at Gorcott Hill on the A435 Alcester Rd.
 
This was at The Greyhound, 89 Holloway Head. They were brewing till 1965, when it was taken over by bulmers as a cider house
