So who is this William Blogg anyway?
This is excellent news:
Alan, you might wish, when you have an idle moment, to take a look at my new beer blog at http://zythophile.wordpress.com.Martyn Cornell, you will recall is the author of the wonderful book on the English brewing trade Beer: The Story of the Pint. I wrote a review of his book over at my other blog back in October 2003 in the dark days before I severed off my beery posts into this their own universe. Martyn was good enough to provide comment even though back then I only had seven readers - if you counted me. That was likely my first inkling as to how cheery and helpful a bunch these beer writers are.
Recent entries over at his place include a discussion of a century of drinking glassware, a selection of beers from 1997, 1992 and 1977 as well as his first post where he explains that we are all zythophiles. Joining Ron's new and Pete's newly revived blogs, Martyn is a welcome addition from the UK to the scene and another one that I expect will teach me far more that I could ever have hoped to learn before this information super highway network became so popular with all the kids these days.

Do you have any pictures/photos of a Barrett & Co. Bottling Brewery Ltd. in Bond Street, Vauxhall SW8 from around 1885? It's not a brewery any more, but we need a picture from around that time. If not, can you advise us where else to look, as we've tried a million sites/archives/libraries, all to no avail.
Thanks,
Barbara (for David Hughes).
