Other than Burton, brewing in Staffordshire received a shot in the arm with the opening in 1992 of the Lichfield Brewery, which produces such delights as Resurrection Ale and Xpired.
An interesting view of the church of St Cross from the porter's lodge, where a visitor can be seen receiving the traditional 'Wayfarer's Dole' of bread and ale.
By 1895 Worthingtons pale and Burton
ales were brewed at Burton-upon-Trent;
William Worthington had opened his
brewery there in 1760 some seventeen
years before William Bass.
Note the tram advertising Miller & Co's ales and stout, the overhead power cables to power it and the tramlines on which it ran - all of which have now disappeared.
Particularly poignant is the barrel over the inn sign, a reminder of Watneys Red Barrel - a truly awful keg beer that almost singlehandedly led to the Campaign for Real Ale.
