Page 2 Chairman’s Report I’m very pleased to see that Chesterfield CAMRA’s Pub of the Year, the Old Poets’ Corner at Ashover, has been selected as Derbyshire Pub of the Year. This means that it will be considered for the East Midland Pub of the Year and, if successful, national Pub of the Year. We congratulate Kim and Jackie Beresford and their staff on achieving this great accolade. Less happy news is the expected destruction of one of our best pub buildings, the Walton on St Augustines’ Road. Although an exceptional building externally, it didn’t attract enough customers inside – a sad loss. Not far away, the Trumpeter on Grangewood estate is to be converted to a ‘retail outlet’ + pub, which is better than nothing. Another sad loss is the retirement of Maureen Tropman from the Red Lion on Whittington Moor. A wonderful landlady who will be sadly missed – see article in this issue. I’m glad to report that our walking programme has recommenced with walks from Ashover to Clay Cross and Clay Cross to Ashover – beautiful country, fine weather and excellent beer. I’d also like to thank the latest hosts of our branch meetings – the Neptune Beer Emporium on St Helen’s Street and the Pebley near Barlborough. All members and potential members are welcome at our meetings. Happy Drinking! Mick Portman Derbyshire Pub of the Year Celebration! @ The Old Poets’ Corner Sunday 16th August 4pm Everyone Welcome Page 3 Page 4 Brewery News Ashover Ashover Brewery is expanding. They have purchased the brewery equipment and taken on the lease from the now closed Brown Ales brewery in Clay Cross. Currently the new brewery is closed, while Ashover put in new floors and new drainage to bring the building up to spec. However, Ashover will continue to brew in their existing brewery, so you won’t miss out on Ashover beers if you’re a fan! The new brewery site will have a modified mash tun and new copper, and will be completely repiped before going into production. This will give Ashover more than double their existing capacity, however both sites will remain open, with the original plant being used for the stronger ales and seasonal specials. Kim Beresford of Ashover Brewery said, “We’re really excited about the prospect of expansion. We’ve been looking for a way to expand for a good while, but it’s taken until now to find something suitable. We’ve only been able to brew enough beer to supply our own pubs, the Old Poets’ and the Poet and Castle, and a few local outlets, but now we hope to supply much further afield.” Instant Karma The phoenix has finally risen from the ashes, as the Clay Cross brewery is brewing again following the fire which closed them down last summer. Brewing began at the end of May, and the first beers were on the Rykneld Turnpyke bar on 14th June. Six ales are on Glyn and Tom..much happier offer: Brew 1 and Brew 2 at 3.95 and 4.5 respectively, Saffron Kasaya at 4%, Sutra at 5.5%, and Shambhala and Bramling Porter both at 5%. Page 5 Brewery News Owner Glyn and brewer Tom are both very happy to see the brewery in production again. Tom had moved house to be closer to the brewery and pub last year, and is glad to be back - especially as it only takes him 30 seconds to walk home! As well as supplying the Turnpyke and other local pubs, Instant Karma beers have reached as far as London - check out the Holborn Whippet and the Roebuck on Great Dover Street if you’re visiting. Glyn is now sorting out a hop contract so he is able to produce some specials, and guarantee the right hops for the existing brews. Matlock Wolds Farm Brewery It was soon apparent that the 40 litre plant that brewer Robert Atkin started out brewing on needed upgrading and a new 250 litre kit has been installed and, after undergoing several test brews, it is now in full production. Cask MWF beers are regularly on the bar at the Twenty Ten Bar on Dale Road while selections of bottled ales are in several other outlets in the Matlock area, including Armitts Off Licence on Smedley Street and MoCa Bar. Robert has added a new beer to the portfolio - a 4.3% golden bitter, Riber Gold - whilst the 4.9% award winning Classic Porter has sold well at the Beer Parlour, Whittington Moor as well as recent beer festivals. Pigeon Fishers The Pigeon Fishers brewery fired up its burners in July and brewed for the first time in 18 months. The brewery has been closed for a full refit, up-cycling Barlow Breweries old but trusted 2.5 barrel plant. Ade Cole, MD and brewer says it’s been an uphill battle juggling finance and time but he is confident the new plant will deliver some seriously tasty ale!

    MH Shrews Folk Fest Beer Brochure 6-8-17_Layout 1 08/08/2017 22:13 Page 1 2017 Beer and Cider Brochure It's a great pleasure to return to Shrewsbury Folk Festival for our third year and a big thank you to Sandra for inviting us back again. Like many at the festival I will miss Alan this year following his recent passing but I'm pretty sure he'll be keeping an eye on things, wherever he is, to make sure we've still got his favourite malt whisky in stock! This year we have kept many of your favourite beers and ciders but have made some changes to give you some new variety. We will be offering 45 different cask ales across the weekend, a quarter of which are different from last year. After a small trial last year we are extending our craft keg range, available in the main bar. I am particularly pleased to have some beers available from the genius hand of Ken King of local Chapel Brewery, but be quick as stocks are limited on these. For lovers of more fizzy stuff, we are pleased to be working with Kingstone Press Cider, Warsteiner and Kaltenberg. Kingstone Press will once again be sponsoring The Folk Slam, the rousing finale to the festival on the Pengwern stage. Other new brewers include Purity, which is supporting the Village Stage this year, and we say a welcome return to The Shropshire Brewery after an absence last year. Also watch out for great wines, a new range of cocktails, Prosecco (obviously!) and loads of gin at our wine bar this year.

The industry’s greatest period came in the late sixteenth century, after technical improvements and an expansion of the trade, and lasted until the late eighteenth century. This is an examination of the working of the industry and of developments during these two centuries. From the sixteenth century onwards there is a large body of written material arising from the way in which the industry was organised. This book is largely based on such documentary evidence preserved in the Derbyshire Record Office and the Derbyshire County Library, in particular the archive accumulated over several centuries by the Gell family of Hopton, now in the DRO, and the microfilm copy of the Wolley manuscripts in the Local Studies Library at Matlock.

  • Guide to Birks Family Papers

    Guide to Birks Family Papers

    GUIDE TO BIRKS FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note The Birks Family Papers were received as gifts to the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from Miss Florence E. Birks and her niece Miss Gladys Mansir in 1970, with further genealogical information supplied by the latter in 1981. They consist of approximately 200 items [exclusive of photographs and printed material], dated between 1802 and 1977. They are comprised of papers of William Birks [1805-1863], a Unitarian minister of Derbyshire, England; his youngest son, Richard E. Birks, also a Unitarian minister in England and later in Massachusetts; and four of the latter’s children. Also included are a few sermons by an ancestor, Richard Elliott, English pharmacist and Unitarian lay preacher. William Birks was born in Ashover, Derbyshire, England, in 1805. While teaching school at Stony Middleton in Derbyshire, he tutored the head gardener, Joseph Caxton, at Chatsworth House. Caxton built a glass conservatory at Chatsworth, and later built the Crystal Palace in London, for which he was knighted by Queen Victoria. William Birks first became a Methodist minister, later a Unitarian minister, and had three sons – John, William, and Richard Elliott – all of whom followed this calling. He died in 1863. His papers consist of about twenty sermons. Richard Elliott Birks, youngest son of William Birks, was born in Stony Middleton, Derbyshire, England, in 1846. He became a Unitarian preacher, although without formal training. In the early 1860s he came to the United States where he entered the decorating trade in Boston. In 1867, he married Margaret White Lang of Boston.
