Following a very interesting talk last month from the USA, this month we return closer to home in fact Guildford.
Local speaker David Rose returns, he is well known to many of us from his previous visits and his talk this month is entitled A DROP OF THE HARD AND SOFT STUFF, the history of our local brewing and soft drinks industry. Guildford had a ready supply of local grown hops and barley and quality water making it an ideal centre for the production of beer and fizzy drinks. Guildford at one time had 6 breweries, mainly centred around the Bury Street and the Portsmouth Road. Should prove to be an interesting morning, especially those with an interest in local history. Hopefully meetings will return to normal in July.
