How Do All ,
This post is possible thanks to the efforts of the ever helpfull team at Sheffield City Archives , Located on Shoreham Street . A short walk from the Train Station ; On arrival ; I was greetted and asked for my Sheffield Libraries Card ; after using the storeage lockers handily provided , I was through to the search room and the beery disvoveries that awaited !!! ;
The first doccument examined was a tattered looking narrow notebook with no front cover
Catalogue No : SHW 6 / 1 / 1 / 3 .
Hardly an auspicious start , but as I leafed through the pages reading about a Victorian Brewer`s observations of brewing , malts and general information on analysis & notes on the Arsenic in the Beer crises of 1900 - 01 - 03
( Caused by the use of Arsenious Sulfuric Acid at Bostock`s in making Invert Sugars ) ;
I found brewing records , Merely recorded as ; " From Captain Latham`s Book , Cannon Brewery ,
St John`s St , London " . These brewings cover selected brewings of SOME beers produced by The Cannon Brewery in 1871 - 1872 ; I hopoe that you all enjoy the ` Beers ` table ; I`ll be analysing the Porters & Stouts from this record in the next few weeks , with a similar table to follow; Look out for the recipe post on Saturday , It`ll be the 36 / Bitter Ale 🍻
