The MARYPORT Brewery Beer Barrel Brass Collar

Context

Maryport Brewery Ltd, 67 Wood Street, Maryport, Cumbria. Founded c.1780. Registered November 1890 to acquire the business of Frederic Robinson Sewell with 63 public houses. As a result of their tied houses in Carlisle being brought under state control in 1916, the brewery output was reduced by more than 50%. So the houses left were sold to the State Management scheme in November 1916 and brewing ceased November 1921
