I`ll be posting the last in the current series of posts on the products ,
as brewed at the Eshaldwell Brewery 1892 - 1894 in the next week .
It`s the brewery`s famous "Old Timothy" strong ale , possibly named for the founder`s father ,
Timothy Bentley , the inventor of the Yorkshire Square system in Ca 1795 .
Cheers All ,
Edd
