Camp Hill Brewery

[titch24tch24]

Trying to get info reL Camp hill Brewery, ravenhurst St, around 1936. I personal family letters with this letterhead from a great Aunt Ethel Cottrell to my mother in 1936-38. I don't understand why, but always believed that the Brewery was a family connection. Does it still exist? Are there any pictures from then? etc Anyone help?

Hi, the Brewer and Baker pub was in Ravenhurst St, perhaps the brewed their own beer back in the thirties, does the letter-head have a number for Ravenhurst St as the Pub was at 58-59.

Nick thanks very much. I now know that C Morley was the proprieter and treading the letterhead correctly it does say BREWER of Home made ales. Would love to know the connection between Morley and my Cottrells though. Nystery remains. thanks heaps
