    Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment The Brewing Industry A report by the Brewery History Society for English Heritage February 2010 Front cover: Detail of stained glass window in the Millennium Brewhouse, Shepherd Neame Brewery, Faversham, Kent. Design, showing elements of the brewing process, by Keith and Judy Hill of Staplehurst. Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment The Brewing Industry A report by the Brewery History Society for English Heritage February 2010 Text by Lynn Pearson Brewery History Society, 102 Ayelands, New Ash Green, Longfield, Kent DA3 8JW www.breweryhistory.com Foreword The Brewery History Society (BHS) was founded in 1972 to promote research into all aspects of the brewing industry, to encourage the interchange of information about breweries and brewing, and to collect photographic and other archive information about brewery history. The Society publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries; the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may be found at <http://www.breweryhistory.com>. The ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the English brewing industry was discussed at the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by English Heritage (EH), the BHS and the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837 -1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006).

  • Draught Copy
    Free Newsletter Draught for the Maidstone & Mid-Kent, Gravesend & Darent Valley and Bexley areas of Kent Copy Spring 2015 No. 178 DRAUGHT COPY—LOOKING BACK As we go to press on this, edition 178 of Draught Copy, I took a look back at the very first issue I ever became involved with exactly nine years ago. I joined as typesetter, the man who puts together the printed publication, a job I still do, despite being editor as well now. In 2006 we ran to 32 pages per issue, and now we are 50 percent thicker at 48 pages. But the price has remained the same! What impresses me most, though, is the brewery roll-call in Kent. In edition 142 our county had just ten breweries listed here: Goachers, Hopdaemon, Larkins, Millis, Nelson, Ramsgate, Shepherd Neame, Swan, Westerham and Whitstable. All ten are still going strong, but have been joined by twenty more. We have said goodbye to Black Cat, which has moved to East Sussex, and are welcoming the tiny microbrewery of the Isla Vale Alesmiths, who are now making a name for themselves in the pubs of Thanet. And I mean tiny, too, just one half barrel per brew. Looking forward, it would seem this burgeoning trend of new breweries is set to continue. I wish we could say the same of pubs, which are in fact diminishing at the rate of 31 closures a week! CAMRA has an urgent and active campaign—Pubs Matter—with its own website, www.pubsmatter.org.uk. I would urge readers to visit this site, take a look at page 10 here, and give this campaign all the support you can.

At the time of writing this history of the Isle of Thanet Geographical Association, the Branch had an ageing membership and it was believed that now was the time to produce such a dissertation on the Branch activities throughout the six decades of its existence. Derek Wilson, as secretary of the Branch, was the custodian of the Branch Archives and compiled all the information for this history which was derived from the available committee meeting minutes, membership cards and leaflets and flyers advertising the lecture meetings throughout the 6 decades; also, further information was obtained from members’ diaries and through verbal communication and newspaper clippings. Although there was some information missing in the archives, this is, nevertheless, a comprehensive history of the Branch. Derek Wilson, FTSC, BSc, LRSC Hon Secretary, Isle of Thanet Geographical Association May 2016 3 Introduction and Background The Royal Geographical Society of London was founded in 1830 as an institution to promote the advancement of geographical science. Like many learned societies at the time in pursuit of knowledge, it started as a dining club in London, where select members held informal dinner debates on current scientific issues and ideas.
