Thornycroft Swifsure dray, of the former Joules Brewery. - Motto By Joules its Good.
Joules Brewery.
Francis Joule came into possession of the White House Inn and brewhouse at Stone in 1758. Nine years later he demolished the inn and built a house, which later became the home of the head brewer. In 1780 he established a public brewery, The brewery set up at the side of The Trent and Mersey Canal thrived and in the ninteeth centuary beer was transport direct from the premises by canal. some onto to Liverpool for export to America and Europe.Local deliveries were made by dray and the company owned forty shire horses and twenty drays. before being given over to delivery by a fleet of drays from the 1920's.
In 1970 Joules was taken over by Bass Charrington who only four years later closed the brewery.
After thirty six years the Joules name was resurected by Andrew Nuttall brewing from a new purpose built brewery. The company has been acquiring a small chain of pubs in Staffordshire each of which will sell Joules Beers.

The historic brick and stone buildings in Fernie just keep presenting themselves. The stock represents a more fire proof rebuild after the disastrous 1908 fire when the entire town burned to the ground with only a few buildings left standing.
FERNIE LIVERY:
In 1907, Alex Rizzuto and J. Crawford purchased the Fernie Livery, Dray and Transfer Company from William Handley and set about modernizing and expanding the business.
The partners suffered a huge set-back when the wooden structure was razed in the fire that swept through downtown Fernie in 1908, but with $3,000 in insurance money (half of what they had claimed), they began to rebuild.
Following the town’s new directive to build in fireproof materials, the current two-storey facility was erected with rubblestone from the nearby Elk River. Structurally, it has changed very little in its 110-year history.
The Fernie Livery, Dray and Transfer Company utilized a fleet of horsedrawn drays to deliver milk, coal, feed and other goods in Fernie for many years. Stump-pulling, lot clearing, and sales of ice in summer were also among the many services offered.
With the arrival of automobiles in the Elk Valley, the business was proudly advertised as “The Up-To-Date Garage” for servicing vehicles, and briefly served as a Chrysler dealership in 1925.
In 1926, the garage closed and the building became the home of the Scott Fruit Company. In September 1933, the Fernie Cartage Company moved in on the main floor and operated out of this location until 1979.
Over the past 40 years, the Livery building has housed an antiques store, two restaurants (The Wood and The Livery) Grow Children’s Store and is now home to the Urban Settler retail space (the second furniture store to feature here) and a private apartment.
THE 1908 FIRE:
In 1908, the town of Fernie had a population of around 5,000. It was, by all accounts, a boomtown with massive coal mining operations, large lumber sawmills, and 700 buildings.
The difference is wooden buildings represented construction in British Columbia before 1908, and the brick buildings, after that date.
The summer of 1908 was very, very dry throughout B.C. Atthe end of July, a small fire was burning near Fernie.
01 August a wind came up and suddenly the fire was out of control and moving swiftly toward the town.
In 90 minutes the town was destroyed. Only 17 houses were left standing, and 5000 people had become refugees.
By 1910, Fernie was rebuilt. But instead of being a town made mostly from wood, it was rebuilt with brick.
Village day back in 2011 in Great Bookham and the procession is starting to form in the High Street .I used to manage the dry cleaners in the High Street and for many a year The Steel Band would be on the back of a lorry outside the shop , now steel bands can sound very good but when they are all getting set up and getting tuned it sounded quite different .
This was a surprise to just come across this dray with the horses waiting patiently by a pub in Sunderland on 20/6/67.
It seemed to be on a normal local delivery.
Someone spent a lot of time, I suspect, organising and setting all these brewery drays up! No date nor location - but the lorries suggest about 1955 - thanks to the notes below and I've changed the caption to reflect that. The picture is taken at John Smith's brewery, Tadcaster in Yorkshire.
The front five are Commers - and I suspect that there are also some Atkinsons and Fodens. Oddly, the back row seems to consist of some passenger coaches - not so oddly now as thanks to a fellow Flickite we now know these were staff or works buses owned by the company.
A recent arrival in Sunderland town centre. Vaux breweries was established in Sunderland in 1805. These drays were a common sight on the streets in the surrounding area delivering beer to the local pubs. The brewery closed in 1999 and was rebranded under several different names.
Don’t think current traffic levels could have coped with the magnificent horses trundling along.

Nyrop No. 3 "The Brewer's Dray"
The 3rd of February 2012 marked the 100th anniversity of this plane's first lift-off from the ice of Stora Värtan in Stockholm - the very first military flight in Sweden.
Nyrop 3, "The Brewer's Dray" is Sweden's oldest surviving airplane and first military aircraft. It was modelled after the first plane to fly across the English Channel in 1909, the French Blériot XI.
Nyrop 3 was manufactured by boat builder Hjalmar Nyrop in 1911. It got its nickname when it was commissioned by brewery director Otto Emil Neumüller, who then donated it to the navy for marine surveillance. The Brewer's Dray would have been hard to fly and was not used many times.

Nyrop Nr 3 "Bryggarkärran"
Den 3 february 2012 war det 100 år sedan just detta plan lyfte från Stora Värtans is i Stockholmm - den allra första militära flygningen i Sverige.
Nyrop 3, Bryggarkärran, är Sveriges äldsta bevarade flygplan och Sveriges första militärflygplan. Förebilden var det första planet som flög över Engelska kanalen 1909, franska Blériot XI.
Nyrop 3 tillverkades av båtbyggaren Hjalmar Nyrop 1911. Smeknamnet fick planet när det köptes av bryggeridirektör Otto Emil Neumüller som donerade det till marinen för sjöspaning. Bryggarkärran ska ha varit svårfluget och användes inte många gånger.

The Callington Copper mine.
Settlement spread across the well-watered Adelaide Hills following a number of Special Surveys in 1839. The financial situation of the state was saved by the discovery of a significant copper mine at Kapunda in 1842, followed by the great mine at Burra in 1845, and then the Callington mine in 1849. The last big copper mine in the 19th century was at Moonta/Kadina in 1869. Callington was laid out as a township in 1849 by local landowners. At about the same time the government announced a survey to build a new road to Wellington on the River Murray and that it would cross the Bremer River where Callington now stands. The Bremer was named after Sir James Bremer founder of the Port Essington settlement in the Northern Territory. Around the time when the first Callington land was offered for sale John Kiernan, whilst driving a dray over a rocky outcrop near the proposed town, noticed copper ore where the wheel of the dray crushed the stone. Copper mining began shortly after that discovery! A smelter was established here and the town began.
Soon there were five mining companies apart from the Bremer Mining Company operating here. Shafts were sunk up to 190 metres (620feet) deep chasing the lodes of copper. Cornish miners settled in the town which officially began in 1850. Before then the area was simply known as Bremer. The original Bremer lode was easy to mine and profitable as the ore was near the surface. The deep shafts ran into water problems. This prompted the Bremer Mining Company to sell out to the Worthing Mining Company in 1857. They installed a large steam pump house to remove water from the shafts. It arrived in 1859 from its former mine site at Hallett Cove. The engine took two years to be fully installed and it then pumped 500,000 gallons of water a day from the mine.
Alfred Hallett carefully managed the mine. He was well respected and under his control the mine at Callington had a reputation for having the lowest costs of production of any mine in SA. Yet the Worthing Mining Company never paid any dividends to its shareholders despite 15 years of continuous operations. In 1870 the company went into liquidation. Before this time around 150 men and boys were employed in the mine and up to 300 tons of copper ore per month was extracted, smelted and then transported to Port Adelaide. The slump in world copper prices in 1870 finished off the mine (and at that same time the great Burra mine closed too.) For 16 months there was no activity in Callington until the Bremer Mining Company took over again in 1872. In the meantime the shafts had filled with water. It took seven months of continuous pumping to clear the shafts! The mine operated for just two years and closed for ever in 1875. Callington at that time had a population of 235. By 1881 this had dropped to just 148.
Many of the buildings of the 1850s and 1860s still remain. Look for:
1. The Flour Mill on the river. Opened in 1858 and made of limestone with brick quoins and timber window frames and casement windows. The Thomas brothers operated the mill for just a few months. It has been a residence off and on since 1859. It was extensively updated and restored in 1975.
2. Erskine Bridge. This government bridge opened in 1890 with elegant sandstone piers, steel trusses and a concrete deck. Mr Erskine was the local MP at that time. It was re-decked by the Highways department in 1970 and had major repairs done in 1979. The first bridge on this site opened in 1874.The last major flood down the Bremer River was in 1992. The Bremer River rises near Mt Torrens and flows down from Callington to Langhorne Creek and Lake Alexandrina. The Erskine Bridge is on the register of the National Estate.
3. Former Methodist Church. The former Methodist Church was built in 1862 for the Cornish miners in a commanding position overlooking the river. It has been a private residence for many years.
4. Police Station. At the far end of the town is the police station and lockup. It was built in 1867 of a standard SA design for that era. It has sandstone windowsills and door surrounds. It was built in the classical style with good symmetry, a double front door entrance and a nice fanlight above the doors with VR for Victoria Regina plastered into the walls. The paired timber bracket supports for the roof indicate that the original roof was slate and heavy. In the rear yard are the cells, stables and a toilet with a semicircular headed entrance.
5. St Peter’s Lutheran Church. Callington always provided services for the local Lutheran German farmers. This Lutheran Church opened in 1864 as a fine blue stone and mortar church in the Gothic style with a cross shape. The central roof bell tower was added later. The interior has a gambrel roof in wood. Note the blind window above the porch entrance. In recent years the whole church has been cement rendered spoiling the appearance.
6. Callington Hotel. The first licensed hotel opened in 1851. This current building probably dates from the 1870s. The publican used to maintain a good historic photograph collection on the bar walls but the hotel is now closed.
7. Primary School. Like most SA schools it dates from just after the passing of the 1875 Free, Compulsory and Secular Education Act. The building was erected in 1886 but the first town school operated from 1858. The government took over that school in 1873. The building is unusual in that a porch was attached to the schoolroom under a veranda roof. The school faced closure in the 1980s but now has a growing enrolment and new classrooms because of Kanmantoo mine.
8. Explosives Hut. This amazing small round building was erected in the 1850s, probably by Worthing Mining Company. Its walls are of limestone and lime mortar with a roof that tapers to the apex with two different rates of slope. The internal supports for the dome roof are all wooden but the main thrust of the weight of the roof is on the external walls. It is on the register of the National Estate. It is likely the rounded shape was meant to implode if there was a small explosion.
9. Pump House or Engine room and chimney. This was built during the last phase of mining from 1872 to 1875. An earlier Cornish chimney and engine house was built in 1858 -1859 closer to the Explosives Hut.
10. Chimney Stack. This was erected in 1874 in the round Cornish style of mine chimney stacks. It was built for the boiler which provided steam to the pump house. It can be seen beyond the Explosives Hut. Another chimney stack was built in 1859 -60.
11. Quadrant Engine Pool Settling Tanks. These were built in late 1863. The circular tanks were divided into four areas or quadrants but little remains now.
12. Cottages in Montefiore Street. Some fine 1850s cottages still remain. Notice the decorative cut outs on the veranda ends of the cottages near the turn off to the Methodist Church. The cottages are in Montefiore Street but who was he? We all know Montefiore Hill with Light’s Vision in North Adelaide. Jacob Montefiore was one of the original SA Company Commissioners in London. He was an English Jew born in Jamaica of Italian ancestry! He was a friend of Colonel William Light and helped him prepare the Rapid and the Cygnet for their voyages to SA in 1836. Montefiore visited Adelaide twice in 1843 and 1854 whilst on his way to visit his brother, a wealthy banker in Sydney.
Description: A little girl is lost in a forest and accidentally finds a house, where three bears live. She explores their house until the three bears come home.

1976 AEC Mercury dray of Crown Buckley Brewery, showing the nice blue and cream livery adopted after Buckley's of Llanelli took-over the Crown Brewery of Pontyclun. NTX 906R was the last AEC Mercury dray on the fleet and lasted until 1994. Now even the brewery itself has vanished under a housing estate. That's economic progress to our successive governments, but not to my mind it isn't.
You can and should visit Maria Sinayskaya’s Flickr photostream and her great web site GoOrigami where you may find instructions for lots of wonderful models.

Thanks for sharing, Maria!! :)
The crew of this vintage brewery dray (cart) take time to absorb the scenery as they are hauled up the cobbled town street at Beamish Museum at a very gentle pace by Percherons Viking and Earl.
