Sandwich Road

Ash

Information taken from Bygone Breweries by Keith Osborne.

Gardner's Brewery, on the Sandwich Road, was undoubtedly the most prominent feature of the small village of Ash. While fairly large in appearance, the brewery only supplied 46 tied outlets; it had expanded only in a very small way, having acquired Tritton's Staple Brewery in 1912, and Edgar Austen's Regent Brewery at Ramsgate in 1927, bringing with their purchase a total of three public houses. The brewhouse in the foreground has completely disappeared, though the outbuildings, on the extreme right of the photograph, remain.
