Stopford's Brewery, West Gorton
« on: Wednesday 11 July 18 08:33 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any information on this brewery, please?

They ran a pub - Mersey Tavern in Stockport (now Chestergate Tavern).
And I can see entries in Grace's Guide and Defunct Pubs - but that's about it!

A CAMRA publication of the 1980s, 'Where have all the Breweries gone?' says that the Manchester Brewery Company was a subsidiary of Walker & Homfrays by 1927.  W&H merged with Wilsons in 1949 and Grand Metropolitan swallowed them and many others, perhaps in the 80s?
