Whitbreads brewery

[Plain Talker 11]

Is this the brewery that used to stink out the Wicker?

 

Stink? To some of us it was a wonderful aroma. So evocative of a Sheffield that has long gone.

 

I loved the smell of the malt mash as it came up towards FitzAlan Square, when I was a child.

Whenever mi' Mum took mi' to Sheff ( late 50's -early 60's ) We'd get off the 89 bus in Bridge St an' she'd allus complain abaht t'smell from t' Brewery ... ( i was only a Young 'Un, but i quite liked it )

Does anyone remember Charlie Hill who was a Boiler Man? and a chap called Hedley cant remember his surname, I think he was a painter. I worked as a spare boiler man for around a year it was the worst year of my life.

 

Charlie was my Uncle,he died a few years ago.He had a reputation for being a bit of a character!
