Hello this auction is for a Friary Meux Brewery sign. From the history of the brand, it must be at about 50 years old more or less. Friary Meux had 672 pubs and 150 wine shops (off licences) across the south of England. The merger of Friary, Holroyd & Healy’s Brewery and Meux (of Nine Elms in London) created Friary Meux in 1956. In 1963, Friary Meux was taken over by Allied Breweries. the brewery buildings were demolished in 1973-74. The last brew took place in 1969. The site of the Friary Brewery is now the Friary shopping centre in Guildford Surrey. The sign measures 31 1/2 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches tall and is made of aluminium. It is a painted sign with the same on both sides. It has some white haze on it, could probably clean up with a polishing compound but I don't like to clean old items up as some people like to keep the character of the patina. It is still a nice colourful bit of old brewery advertising from a company no longer in business. If you live in or near Guildford and want a piece of Guildford history, or you are a member of CAMRA this is a great item. Collection from BR6 7SA (SouthBromley) (few mins from Junct 4 of M25) POSTAGE to mainland UK is £10 and packing is free
