> WELCOME TO THE MAIDENHEAD BEER FESTIVAL 2013!

The Slough, Windsor & Maidenhead Branch of CAMRA welcomes you to the fi rst Beer Festival at Maidenhead United Football Ground. We would like to say “thank you” to Peter Griffi n and his team at the club for allowing us to use this convenient town centre venue.

The festival is run by CAMRA volunteers who give up their time to put this all together and I would like to thank them personally for helping us out. They are fed and watered, with beer of course, so if you need any help in selecting your beers just ask one of the bar sta� . You might persuade them to allow you to try a small sample, if there’s not a queue ten deep!

This year we have a great selection of 70+ interesting ales, 41from LocAle breweries within a 30 mile radius of the festival and 31 from further a� eld. In line with CAMRA policy all beers will be served in oversized lined glasses, so you will get a full pint. An excellent selection of 20 ciders and perries are also available. Soft drinks and wine are available from the clubhouse.

This year, our charity of the festival is the Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance Trust. Their mission is ‘to assist in the provision of an Air Ambulance service, to relieve sickness and injury and to serve the counties of Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.’ Please give generously to help them raise funds for this totally voluntary, very worthy and local cause.

There are many bene� ts to being a CAMRA member and the membership fee is tremendous value at £23. £20 worth of money o� real ale vouchers for J D Wetherspoon, a monthly newspaper, ‘What’s Brewing’, a quarterly magazine, ‘BEER’ and a whole host of discounts make it great value. Join today at the Festival and we’ll buy you a pint, so the whole exercise is self-� nanced!

The support of our Sponsors is very much appreciated. Without their generous help it would not be possible to stage an event of this magnitude. CAMRA is a not-for-pro� t organisation but we hope to make a contribution to the Campaign Fund, which recently caused the beer escalator to be scraped.

Finally, enjoy the ale, the entertainment and the food o� ering. Drink safely and a big thank you for supporting the Maidenhead Beer Festival 2013....we hope to see you again!Enjoy the festival and drink safely.

Cheers!

> MAIDENHEAD’S BREWERIESBy Brian Boulter, Hon. Curator, Maidenhead Heritage Centre >

A century ago, there were four breweries in Maidenhead. The last closed 50 years ago. The oldest brewery was Langton’s. When Philip

Langton died in 1643, his goods included barley and malt, a horse mill, a copper and cooler, and a beer dray. Walter Keyne owed him £13/10/0 shillings (£13.50 to youngsters) for 30 barrels of beer which works out at 4d (less than 2p) per pint. Langtons opened a new large brewery in Market street in 1852, with maltings nearby in East Street. The brewery had to be rebuilt in 1875 after a � re. Nicholson’s bought the business, with 27 pubs including the Palmer Arms at Dorney and the Compleat Angler at Bisham, when the last of the family died in 1906. The buildings survived until the 1960’s, Langton’s house is now a medical centre.

William Nicholson came to Maidenhead as a boy when his father set up his High Street grocer’s shop. He trained as a chemist and then began to brew at the back of his father’s shop, delivering beer on a handcart. In 1840, he built the Pine Apple Brewery on the site of the old White Hart Inn. The name probably came from the fruit being grown in England for the � rst time at nearby Dorney Court. In 1860, the brewery was enlarged, with a distinctive High Street o� ce, clad in marble. William was a great sportsman, being a member of the Maidenhead Cricket Club which beat an all-England eleven in 1853. He also played soccer and was a good ri� e shot. He supported many local charities and his lasting memorial is Maidenhead Library, for which he donated the site.

The Fullers ran Ray Mill, a � our mill at Boulters Lock on the Thames. James Bell joined the family � rm in 1842 when he married one of their daughters. He began to diversify, � rst into malting,

then into brewing. This was so successful that at the time of his early death he was planning a large brewery opposite the railway station. The family built the brewery and named it the Bell Brewery in his memory. It took over the Castle Brewery in Burnham in 1908 and Storey’s Station Brewery, Bracknell in 1908, when the � rm became Fuller Storey. It was bought by Nicholson’s in 1922.

The East Berkshire Brewery was started by George Braxton who came from Nicholson’s. It was later run by James Blunson and made porter for his London depot. It was enlarged by Alfred Keyes in 1887 with an o� -licence in King Street. He specialised in “family ales”, delivering to local households. Nicholson’s took over in 1895 and it became the workshops for their pub maintenance team.

Nicholson’s did well enough between the wars, but was

shot. He supported many local charities and


then a victim of the merger-mania. In 1956, Courage & Barclay Ltd. began buying shares, acquiring the company two years later. The last brew was in 1961. The brewery was demolished to build the Nicholson’s shopping centre, under which there is still the 400ft well. At the back a curious building survives, a carriage house with a ramp at the side for horses to walk up to the overhead stables. It has been listed but is now converted into a restaurant.

Brewing was seen by country gentlemen as a socially acceptable commercial enterprise, unlike owning a factory. Henry Hewett started a brewery in the Berkshire hamlet of Shurlock Row, with a maltings at a nearby farm. It did well, taking over the new Cricketers Arms beer house, now thehome of the Heritage Centre. When Henry died, it became a limited company and then became entangled in the complicated � nancial transactions of Thomas Skurray, a director of Morland’s. Unable to get the backing of the Morlands board, he began to buy shares for himself in Hewett’s and also in Dymore Browns, the Reading brewer with the Royal Berkshire Hospital contract. Hewetts had 42 pubs, Dymore Brown’s had excess capacity. Skurray brokered an agreement and Hewetts closed in 1911. When the agreement came up for renewal in 1926, Morlands did take over and so when the Cricketers Arms was

refurbished, it had their ceramic artist plaque as part of the glazed brick front.

Cookham had a brewery in 1675. It was originally near to the church and ferry, but was later relocated to new premises o� the Moor. In 1785 this was owned by the Darby family, but the sons did not want to continue. It was sold, together with its 99 pubs to Neville Reid of Windsor in 1837. They had four pubs in Cookham including Bel and the Dragon, and the Crispin in Burnham. Neville Reids closed the brewery but used the maltings until 1907 when they built extra capacity at Windsor.

We also have a copy of the 2002 survey of Maidenhead pubs carried out by members of the local historical society. This has now become a historic document. If you want to know more, let me know and I can have the relevant material ready for you to consult. Similarly we are always glad to accept items relating to local pubs and breweries. We were recently given a framed poem written for the 50th anniversary of the New Inn in Farm Road. It used to hang in the saloon bar and a regular rescued it when the new landlord decided to change the décor.

OUR BEER FESTIVAL SUPPORTED CHARITY...

We are very pleased to have Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance Trust as our Charity of the Festival this year.

Based at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire, the service covers Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and provides an essential backup to the normal emergency services. Their medical team can reach incidents much quicker than normal ambulances, and the helicopter is particularly useful in remote areas, or where tra� c congestion would further hinder road transport.

For information about the excellent work they do, please visit their Website. We hope you will support them by visiting their stand at the fest, and help them raise loads of money, which all helps to keep their red and yellow helicopter operational!

> THE COOKHAM DEAN GRAVITY GRAND PRIX 2013Sunday 1st September, 1.30pmThe seventh Cookham Dean Gravity Grand Prix is

a fun event run by The Ka� rs of Cookham Dean to raise money for The Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance. Up to 30 themed karts will compete for a variety of prizes.

The Gravity Grand Prix is intended to be a free family fun day for the bene� t of local residents. It is held in September so it gives families and individuals a project throughout the long summer months.

The popularity and fun of the event means it’s a great platform to raise money for good causes. This year the target is £10,000! It’s all for charity, nothing is deducted as the organisers are all volunteers.

The course is a length of 700m and a drop of 32m. It should be noted that the course has some very tight corners; drivers can expect to reach speeds of 30-40mph!
