EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of history at the Harp Lager Brewery in Manor Park, Alton. The image showcases a row of tankers parked outside the newly constructed brewery, providing an intriguing insight into the beer supply process of that era. Built by renowned construction company John Laing Construction Ltd in 1961, this impressive brewery was designed by architects and engineers from Group Technical Services. Collaborating with experts from Arthur Guinness, Son and Company Limited, they created a state-of-the-art facility that would become synonymous with Harp Lager. The brewery officially opened its doors on June 28th, 1963, marking a significant milestone for both Harp Lager and the local community. Over the years, it thrived under various ownerships including Bass and Molson Coors until its unfortunate closure in 2015. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when road transport played a vital role in delivering goods across the country. The sight of these tankers lined up outside the brewery serves as a testament to the dedication and precision required to ensure an uninterrupted supply of lager to eager consumers. Through this remarkable photograph courtesy of A© Historic England Archive, we can appreciate not only the architectural marvel that was once Harp Lager Brewery but also gain deeper insights into our rich brewing heritage.
