BREWERIANA TRIVIA QUIZ In the bad old days when pubs were closed I put a quiz question in the online issue of Beer Around ‘Ere. I repeat it here together with the answers. If you can add anything further to the answers or about the company I would be pleased to hear from you via the newsletter - Mike Johnson.

45 Burghley Road
Cutlack & Harlock Ltd was the result of a merger in June 1907 of William Cutlack of Littleport and Frank Harlock of the Quay Brewery, Ely. Brewing continued at Harlock’s brewery until 1930. In September 1930, Cutlack & Harlock merged with Arthur & Bertram Hall Ltd of Forehill Brewery, Ely, to form Hall, Cutlack & Harlock Ltd. They also had a brewery in Peterborough which I believe was in Priestgate.
