Adeptus sets out the beginnings of ICB's Lost Breweries Project[/url:rlv8miux], as initiated by Joeby in this thread[/url:rlv8miux].

The article includes an impressive interactive map showing just how prevalent brewing once was in this country.

Some sterling work done there. For my part I think I might take a look into the old Kinsealy brewery that was mentioned.

Great resource guys, well done. Just thinking - letters to local press might be a good way to get some extra info.

Very well done lads a great resource of all

Thanks. This is only scratching the surface really, but I hope the map will form an index of sorts to provide stubs to help kick off deeper research. There are so many marked on the maps of the first half of the 19th C. -- and the majority most likely have little remaining on record -- that it'll be a big job to find out details on all of those found so far. That's why it's important to open this out and get you guys pulling in stuff where possible.

Of course the next [i:2a58taiy]real[/i:2a58taiy] challenge is getting this Wiki working the way we want it <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
