From an email received 16 March 2013.
The buildings still exists today
but altered slightly, the house is now called Errol House and was sold
recently.
My cousin Benjamin Flint wrote a book in the 19th century called a
Narrative History of the Fenner and Flint families which gives a lot of
info about the brewery, they had 5 large fermentation tanks storage
tanks and a 100,000 litre equivalent cooling tank etc.
No 26 Stour St on Google Streets, shows it now painted white but it
looks like it used to have some signs hanging on the front. It's a very
old building I think it must have been the "Two
Brewers."
In the early eighteenth century the Fenners had another pub called
"The Sign of the Cow" no idea where that was.
Rest Fenner the 4th took over the brewery in 1738.
Two of my other great grandfathers had breweries in Canterbury
Randolph Ludd in the eighteenth century {I will let you know the address
when I can find it again} and Zachariah Kingsford in about 1700 that was
called Tonford Manor Brewery. They used to have parties there and served
punch from milk pails and drunk it out of bowls.
Cheers Roger Allen. |
