Smith Garrett's Special Mild
Smith Garrett was a brewery based in Bow, London, taken over and closed by Taylor Walker in 1927. This tilework on a pub in Junction Road, Upper Holloway, has clearly been exposed during a recent refurbishment.

Mild Ale was once the most common beer sold in pubs. Today its extremely rare to find it in any London pub. I suspect that its a victim of fashion rather than anything else - people today prefer light coloured beers, even though mild has ten times more taste than the rubbish called 'lager'.
