    HUNT'S BREWERY, WATER STREET Stamford, PE9 2NJ HUNT'S BREWERY, WATER STREET Stamford, PE9 2NJ Hunts Brewery is a unique and very beautiful building situated in the highly desirable location of Water Street just a few minutes’ walk from The George Hotel, Burghley House, the train station and all the wonderful amenities that Stamford has to offer. This wonderful unlisted building is built of coursed Limestone under a fully refurbished Collyweston roof. Charming views to the front of the building look out over the River Welland and the Albert Bridge built in 1881. The building was operated as a Malthouse from 1814 and was originally known as Stamford New Brewery. Messer’s Hunt were thought to have been Brewers, Carriers and Maltsters and ran the business until the building was acquired by Mowbrays of Grantham in 1927 but closed later that same year. In c.1985 The property was acquired by Treasured Heritage, who restored and converted the property as a residential dwelling. Today, Hunt's Brewery is a fine home offering beautifully proportioned accommodation, packed with wonderful period features, a private courtyard garden, a basement below the car‑port offering utility and workshop space and private off‑road parking/driveway area. The current vendors have carried out extensive works including the refurbishment of the entire Collyweston slate roof, bespoke installation of hardwood Gothic‑style sealed‑unit windows, fully insulated wooden flooring on the ground floor, plus vaulting the roof space to expose the fabulous timbers and create a mezzanine floor space. Externally the vendors have built a useful basement utility room and workshop below a private 2/3 car parking area.

  • TT No.86: Steve Hardy – Saturday 3Rd

    TT No.86: Steve Hardy – Saturday 3Rd

    TT No.86: Steve Hardy – Saturday 3rd February 2018; Old Hill Vets v Shirley Athletic Vets; Birmingham & District League Vets Cup; Result: 2-6; Admission: Free; Programme: No; Attendance: 4 h/c Once again, a 3G pitch comes to the rescue. This week though, I actually wanted to visit it, as opposed to the ‘everything on grass is rained off, so a plastic pitch it is then’ attitude I have adopted in recent weeks. The match was originally on the fixture bulletin as a Shirley Athletic home match. I thought at the time that Shirley were the only ground left for me to visit in the BADL, so as the game was postponed week after week through the bad weather, I got more and more frustrated. This week’s bulletin said ‘game switched to Old Hill’ though, so a quick text to the very helpful Shirley Secretary gave me the address of Old Hill’s ground, and I hadn’t been there - woo-hoo! The ground in question is actually a school, Leasowes High School in Halesowen, to be exact. At the back of the school is a brand new floodlit 3G pitch in a cage, where spectators are allowed in, and can wander around all four sides too, which was a bonus. I had seen a couple of games previously in the BADL vets cup competition, so I knew that any thoughts that this match would see 22 elderly men tottering around the pitch for 90 minutes was entirely spurious. These games are taken VERY seriously, the players are fit and the play is often aggressive.
