A Brewery In Oswestry
« on: Tuesday 24 August 21 19:31 BST (UK) »
Am trying to identify the brewery on Bailey Street referred to in the following news cuttings:-

Public Notices (Oswestry Advertiser, 08 & 15 August 1877)

I, JOSEPH JACKSON, of Whittington Lodge, in the parish of Whittington, in the County of Salop, Brewer, do hereby give notice that it is my intention to apply at the General Annual Licensing Meeting, to be held at the Guildhall in the Borough of Oswestry aforesaid, on Friday, the 31st day of August instant, for a Certificate of Justices to hold an Additional Excise Licence to Sell Beer by Retail to be consumed off the premises, at the Brewery situate in or abutting on Bailey-street, in the borough of Oswestry aforesaid, and now in my occupation, in pursuance of the Act 26 and 27 Victoria, cap. 33, section 1, and the Acts amending the same.

Given under my hand this 7th day of August, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-seven.
JOSEPH JACKSON.

Licensing Session (Oswestry Advertiser, 05 September 1877)

There were no objections offered to the renewal of any of the licences, which were all renewed. Some were altered to six-days licences, the Recorder saying that he considered those who took six-days licences benefactors to the town.-Mr. Whitfield applied on behalf of Mr. Joseph Jackson, brewer, Bailey-street, for a retail licence to sell off the premises, which was granted.

Map of Oswestry 1884 here, Bailey St runs perpendicular down from below the Horse Market (below Castle St) to Cross St. As you can see, there are many buildings along the street, a brewery did not have to be a large building, sometimes just a normal sized dwelling.
