TRUMAN , HANBURY & BUXTON , BURTON : No 9 & No 8 ALES 1877 - 1887

 How Do All ,

Today`s draught of beery information is drawn from the information contained in the 
 Burton Gyle Books of Truman , Hanbury & Buxton deposited with the good folks @
The London Archives on Northampton Rd , Clerkenwell .
 In common with a number of other brewers , Truman`s saw the obvious advantages of utilising 
The justly famed brewing waters ,Amongst these enlightened folks were ;

Peter Walker and , Sir Andrew Barclay Walker Bt , who established seperate breweries in the town ;
In addition to their own , leased at least one other in the 19 Th Century ( Midland Brewery ) 

Magee Marshall & Co Ltd ;
Leased John Bell`s Brewery from Ca 1902 - 1908/9 
Brewing @ Bell`s from 1902/3 - 1908 

The Tooth family of The Kent Brewery , Sydney ( 19 Th Century ) 

The Black Eagle Brewery of Truman`s at Burton had it`s origins in the brewery established 
And first built by the Phillips Brothers of Northampton ; With the sale to Truman`s in 1873 ,
 Their involvement in brewing in Burton ended . 
After it`s purchase , the Phillips Bros premises were enlarged and rebuilt , 
Becoming fully operative by 1876- 1877 . 
The Black Eagle Brewery in Burton was to last as a brewery for just under 100 Years;
Before it`s closure as a brewery in 1971 .
