Brewery Yard

It's not that easy to find something 'new' in old Stow-on-the-Wold.

The Victoria Brewery was founded in what is now known as Brewery Yard in Sheep Street at the time of Queen Victoria’s coronation in 1837. It was founded by 3 local men, 2 church wardens and a librarian, so what they knew about brewing was unclear! 

It is now occupied by various retail establishments, and a dentist. In new or renovated/repurposed buildings I assume. Not our dentist by the way, though that is why we were in Stow today. Ours is just around the corner from this one. We went back for one of mrsfb's treatment plan appointments. I got into another conversation with the dentist. He has a new camera, a Fuji. I have to explain to both him and the receptionist what I am going off to photograph while mrsfb is in the chair.

She had some good news this morning, picking up our biggest ever Premium Bonds 'win'. Then she spent most of it on the dental bill. Just £30 left! Oh well, easy come, easy go.

This evening I have been to Cirencester College to see their Art Of Photography exhibition. One of our camera club members had done their course last year so had his project portfolio on display. He has signed up again to do a course next year, and so have 3 other club members. I would be interested in the Art bit, but not so much in the film processing part.

Mrsfb meanwhile has been to the Historical Society meeting - Metal Detecting in Gloucestershire.

Ha, just where I have been this evening.
