A pleasure that is always there, a treasure for us all to share. The reason I ask is that my great, grandmother was the daughter of one of the Brown Brothers. As my grandfather and mother have passed away, I have no one to ask questions. My great grandmother married a Mr Davies my great grandfather against her parents wishes. I believe he worked as a coachman for the family. They disowned her which to me is very sad.
Unfortunately I have no information about her name or date of birth. I have visited Nantwich Museum but found nothing only a photo of the premises of the Brewery. I have managed to collect a few beer bottles with the name of the firm on them. I would dearly love to know where they lived or any information of any relatives of my age. I am now 74 years old and time is running out for me to gain information. Anything you can furnish me with would be so appreciated.
Respectfully yours, A. Shareen Johnson nee Evans. The decoration was cream painted — First World War type. The light ale had been on the shelf too long and lacked effervescence. The average age of the locals both sexes was 60, with men wearing cloth caps. A large house with outbuildings and coach house etc which have been barn converted into living accommodation. You may of course know this already. Regards, Nick. Thank you Nick.

After the First World War, the club became founder members of the Cheshire County League in which they were perennial strugglers.
