Marsh's Brewery, Ogleforth, York

What an address, eh, Blipsters?...

While I was cycling to work down a back street (i.e. Ogleforth), I noticed this sign outside what obviously used to be... a brewery. Chatting to an old guy out walking to get his paper, and he said remembered the brewery when it was operational. Brewing stopped in 1940 apparently.

The brewery had been locked up for years and was extremely well-preserved until it was bought recently. I didn't even know there was a brewery there! Now it's been turned into flash apartment lets. Reminded me of the talk I went to last Saturday.

I can't find out much about the old set-up. I guess I'll just have to go in all the great old pubs within a stone's throw of here and do some more research. Oh dear, oh dear.
