The old beer store and stables of John Joules and Son brewery in Stone, Staffordshire,
Sitting beside the Trent and Mersey canal on this elevation and Newcastle Street to the rear, this building dates back to 1881. The ale store was located to the left hand side of the building and the stables to the right. The canal allowed distribution up through Stoke-on-Trent with some stock bound for Liverpool and from there to overseas destinations.
