mitchells brewery lancaster

[scrappy]

this was my first brewery and to be honest i thought there would hardly be anything left in it. but it was not the case, just finding the stairs to go up a floor was the first challenge! but it was worth the get up to see, plenty of areas of interest. thanks to BB for letting me tag along with him off urbex forums.

History:-
designed by W A Deighton in 1901, Mitchell's of Lancaster is a well established family owned pub and hotel company. Established for over 140 years, the company was founded by William Mitchell and is now run by the founder's great-great-grandchildren. The story goes that a chance meeting with a friend provided the money William needed to build his own brewery. Once the brewery was built, William went on to build a number of large hotels and inns, strategically sited within the Lancaster and Morecambe area. The company no longer brews its own beer.

I love this. Having served my apprenticeship in the brewing industry it is great to see some of the sites that still have the brewing vessels remaining. Thanks and well done.

I had a trip round this brewery in the early 80's. There was a pub next door that you went in after the tour for a pint. Might even still have a beer towel from there somewhere. very sad to see it gone.

Really nice shots, ive only been to our brewery over here, cool to see those big metal tanks, the ones over here have been removed and are just holes in the floor.

I seem to have missed this one for some reason. Just my kind of place too!
Fabulous site and pics, Scrappy.
