Swan Brewery Compliments Slip pre 1897
1897 was the year that Ben Bushell bought and closed the Swan Brewery at the bottom of Hosey Hill, so this compliment slip will date from before that time. At that point the Black Eagle Brewery took on the trading style of Bushell, Watkins and Co., though William Watkins did not stay very long. On the 1901 census, he and his family are to be found living in Dudley, Worcestershire, where he is described as ‘Practising Brewer and Brewery Manager’.
