The New Book

This illustration is of the proposed front cover of the long awaited Alterative Mansfield Brew Book.

The author Roy Bainton says
”There is a bit of topping and tailing to do and the book should be ready for ex-employees to purchase at a preferential rate before Christmas”.

Further information will follow.

An introduction to the
Alternative Mansfield Brew ...

In the year 2000 a century and a half of brewing came to an end when Mansfield Brewery plc finally closed it’s gates following their take-over by the Wolverhampton & Dudley Brewery.

One of the last men left to turn out the lights was John Else, who for almost three decades had served as the company’s Personnel Director. John knew just how different brewing was to any other occupation, and was well aware of the colourful characters this occupation attracted. With this in mind he decided to preserve the memories of as many of those dedicated workers as possible.

He commissioned local author Roy Bainton to write this fascinating, funny book, which is compiled from hours of interviews with dozens of employees from the shop floor up to the board room.

Here you’ll also find the story of Hull Brewery workers, North Country Breweries and those of many other businesses which belonged to MBC plc.

Even if you’re a teetotaller, you may well need a pint after reading this.

Extract from letter received from Lynnette Terry, Broadway, Worcs.

Many thanks for sending the first edition of The New Marksman.

My husband and I read the article about Evesham with fond memories, as for us Mandora was a family affair.

I first met my husband Neil Terry at Mandora 1985/6. I was then Lynnette Robinson and my father, Herbert, and my two brothers Terry and Michael also worked at Mandora, as did my husband’s sister, Katrina Terry.

We made many friends at Mandora a lot of them have come and gone but we still see some of them around Evesham. There is a character we knew before we started at Mandora who also worked there at the same time as us and he is Gary Hancox .We are still great friends with Gary and see him at least once a month. Since we left there has not been a single year gone by where we have not got on to the subject of Mandora and the many good times and laughs we used to have.

You asked for any photos to do with T W Beach and I remembered a photo I have of me, my dad and my daughter. Dad and I had come home from work one day and we noticed my daughter’s dress was blue checked, the same as my works cap. We could not resist posing for the camera. But there is a sad end to this tale, my dad Herbert Robinson was diagnosed with bowel cancer in January 2004 and he passed away in March 2005.

With fondest memories
on behalf of all the Terry
and Robinson Families..

My Dad Herbert Robinson
With my Husband Neil
just larking about.

 

 

 

Reflections - the Jam Factory at Evesham
by Mrs V.A.Ford Hampton, Evesham.

My husband was born in 1926 and as a child he can remember the
factory hooter blowing four times a day at 8am 12.30pm 1.30pm & 5pm.

The people of Bengeworth, a district around Evesham, knew the
time of the day by the hooter, as most people didn’t have watches.

T W Beach gave employment to a good many people in the area.

River Avon Evesham

The region around Bengeworth was mostly market gardening and the fruit in the district mostly plum. Beaches had lots of barrels of fruit pulp, which they kept in a field next to the factory and I first went to work in the factory part time in 1967.

They canned strawberries, raspberries, and other fruit. They also bottled beetroot and concentrate marmalade. We had to remove the stalk, the peel and all the orange went into the concentrate. Then, there were two sections of the factory. The top half was the canning department. The other building was where they made the pop, and I can remember working on the line for Sainsbury Shandy.

That was about 1968-69 and as far as I can remember it was T W Beach then and Mandora took over in 1980's.

Looking at Hull

Hull is a modern city with a very interesting history. In the late 1980's the City Centre was drastically altered and improved by large scale pedestrianisation and associated works. The Old Town area and Marina are very pleasant places to stroll.

A new attraction, The Deep, opened in March 2002 and is Europe’s deepest aquarium. Hull has a long maritime history, the evidence of which you can see at the waterfront and in the old town. There are cobbled narrow lanes, historic architecture, old inns, preserved warehouses, formal gardens, museums, art galleries and wonderful views of the Humber waterway giving plenty of interest for visitors.

An annual occurrence used to be the flooding of the town due to the high and spring tides. A barrier over 33mtrs high was built and is now lowered across the width of the River Humber when dangerous tides are threatened.

A must to see is the River Humber Suspension Bridge completed in 1981 and opened by Her Majesty the Queen. The bridge has the third longest span in the world.

The site of the present city was occupied at the end of the 12th century by Cistercian monks and was called Wyke upon Hull. The area of Wyke, which is Scandinavian in origin, is first mentioned in 1086.

In 1293 Edward 1 acquired the settlement, then known as Wyke and it’s name was changed to Kingston ( King’s town) upon Hull.

In 1322 the town was fortified, new quays were built and internal communications improved.

Henry VI’s charter of 1440 incorporated the town.

During the English Civil War the town resisted two sieges against the Royalists. The first was in April 1642 when the town closed the gates against Charles I.
The second siege was in September 1643.

In 1782 the Hull Brewery Company began trading.

During the 17th and 18th centuries the town continued to maintain it’s position as a thriving port and commercial centre, and between 1774 and 1829 three docks were built.

At the height of the fishing industry in 1882, 400 trawlers operated out of Hull

The town became a city in 1897 with the Royal Charter of Queen Victoria

In 1991 British Ports Authority reopened Alexander Docks (The original opened in 1885) to commercial traffic. A ferry service now departs regularly to the Continent

PS Please could anyone send articles and pictures of Hull and Hull Brewery to be included in the next magazine

When Duty Calls

A regiment formed in 1656 by King Charles II, which became known as The RoyalGrenadier Guards, came to play a very important part in the lives of 2 Mansfield men who both worked for Mansfield Brewery.

Eric Jackson, (Tanker department supervisor ) was a mere lad of 16 when he joined the Home Guard, and at the age of 17 he was made a Lance Corporal. Eric was called up on his 18th birthday, accepted the king’s shilling and joined the Grenadiers. For 4 years he was with the colours and 8 years in the reserve.

After 15 weeks initial training (GDS depot Caterham), he was posted to Windsor barracks for field and battle training then on to Pirbright for training on Churchill tanks. He joined the 4 th Battalion at Welbeck Abbey, and then in 1944 went on active service to France. (A “Service before battle” was held at Canterbury cathedral).

All went well until they reached the area of St Martin De Besage where they came under mortar fire, which caught the man in front of Eric in both shoulders and brought him to the ground. Eric, the man in the middle, received shrapnel wound to his right foot which knocked him head over heels. The last man Bill Parkin (whose father worked at the Mansfield Brewery) was killed instantly.

Eric received treatment at a field dressing station and then transferred to Aberystwyth hospital for four month’s recuperation, and then onto Trentham Garden convalescing depot where he met Grenadier Guardsman Jim Wain.

When the war ended Eric was employed as a receptionist in the transit wing of No. 1 Transit and release camp in Munster.

In peacetime Eric joined the part time Special Constabulary and retired as an inspector after 26 years. He joined Mansfield Brewery in 1947 and retired in 1983 after 36 years.

Jim Wain worked for Mansfield Brewery for 50 years . He began in 1937 but in 1942,aged 19, he joined the Grenadiers. After 15 weeks basic training at Caterham Surrey, he went to Windsor and was then posted to Pirbright for tank training. At Codworth on Salisbury Plains Jim trained on Churchill tanks and became a driver/operator. It was on a visit to Codworth that Princess Elizabeth, our present Queen, made her first solo public engagement. After a spell at Middleham, Yorkshire, Jim then went to Welbeck, only 7 miles from home, and it was here that Mr Smith (code name for King George VI) inspected the troops. After further tank training at Blidworth Bottoms, Jim was sent on to Gosport and embarkation to Normandy, passing through France and Belgium before finally arriving in Holland.

Jim was billeted with a family in a Dutch village called Bakel. The family had a 15-year-old son Sjaak (Jack). who was fluent in English and became an interpreter. Action against the Germans came at a place called Leissel a few miles from Bakel. The battalion was in harbour (a briefing) when mortars opened fire. Jim ran for his tank but with shells exploding he dropped down near the first tank he came to. Had he reached his own tank the mortar shell blast and shrapnel that went under his tank would have killed him. The incident was reported as follows:

“6323216 Guardsman Jim Wain 4th tank Brigade Grenadier Guards. He was wounded in both legs and right thigh on 15 Nov 1944 at a place called Liessel in Holland.”

Jim was evacuated back to the UK, moved to Whitchurch and then to Aberdare hospital in South Wales and finally to Trentham Gardens in the Midlands for recuperation. After recovery he was posted back to 4 th Battalion as part of the army of occupation in Germany. Jim stayed in the army until 1947and then returned to the brewery where he worked until his retirement in 1987

In September 2004 Jim received a 1945 Liberators Medal from the Dutch Government. Recently, Sjaak (son of the Dutch family where Jim was billeted) made contact with Jim, who travelled to Holland to be re-united with his old friend. Sjaak and his family have since visited Jim and Maureen in Mansfield.

More Ex Pats

Thank you for sending me a copy of "The New Marksman". I was interested to read the note about Kev & Gill Needham taking up residence in Cyprus. You may be interested to know that he is not the only retired MBC employee with interests in Cyprus. Richard Lewis (Mandora and MBC) and his wife Jeanette are now also permanent residents living near Paralimni, while Frank & Vicky Pates have a house near Larnaca and spend many months of the year enjoying the many delights of the island.

Before I joined Mandora (formerly known as R.L.Jones) in 1972 I was managing the Coca-Cola plant in Nicosia, Cyprus for four years. In those days I had an apartment in Nicosia and a holiday house in the Turkish Quarter of Kyrenia. Can you believe that the beach at Ayia Nappa had to be approached down a cart track through a field and there was not a house or hotel in sight ? At Paphos there was only one rather seedy hotel. How times have changed, all thanks to the package holiday revolution. Mary and I now have a house in Camlibel (aka Myrtou in Greek) in North Cyprus located about twenty miles West of Kyrenia, well away from the tourist developments. We try and get out there about three times a year and enjoy the magnificent weather and warm sea.

Ruby Wedding Anniversaries 2006

Congratulation to Edward and June Park on their Ruby Wedding.
Ted and June live in Fueteventura and are enjoying the sun.

A Blind Date that Worked

Bill and Alice Donbavand

In Liverpool, Alice was a keen hockey player and her club used to hold annual dances. It was at one of these dances that she met a Mr & Mrs Donbavand who, on arriving home began plotting how their son Bill, who then lived in Mansfield, could meet this girl Alice. They invited another 16 people to dinner in a restaurant in Liverpool and arranged for both Bill and Alice to be at the party - the rest is history. Alice moved to Mansfield in 1964 and began work at the Brewery. Bill was a joiner at Brackenbury Builders, but when the opportunity came to join the Brewery estates workshop staff in 1965,he took it and became a property surveyor in 1975.

Alice and Bill were married in Liverpool on 26 th February 1966 and spent a few days honeymoon in Chester before returning to work
Alice retired in 1991 and Bill retired in 1998 with a combined total of 60 years Brewery service. They spent their anniversary in Cyprus with their good friends Gill and Kev Needham.

Touring Europe to Celebrate

Val worked as the Group Data Processing Manager at the main Brewery offices. She also covered Mandora, T W Beach and the Hull Brewery sites during the late 70s and early 80s when computer development was at it’s peak. She left in 1986 to form her own Computer Consultancy and ironically enough her first contract was for Mansfield Brewery!

Having lost touch with her ex-colleagues whilst developing her own business she is more than happy now to be back in the fold - joining in with the Pensioners’ Group and also participating in the monthly walks with the Brewery Walking Group. She commented – “although it had been almost 20 years since I had seen some of my old friends, it was like it was only yesterday because they are such a good crowd and made both myself and Geoff very welcome. Now we are both retired we have more time to get involved with social events although we are still actively involved in Motor Rallying which is our first love.”

To celebrate their Ruby Wedding they are going on a cruise to Iceland in July and a tour across Europe in August & September

Mansfield Brewery’s own “Horse Whisperer”

If you like a peaceful setting with fine views of the Nottinghamshire countryside and Belvoir Castle why not visit Castle View Stables, just off the A46 in the village of Flintham?

The stables and land, which cover over 2 1 acres, are owned and run by Terry Johnson (former MBC General Manager, Free Trade North) along with his business partner Cheryl Birch. Terry’s wife Sue and Cheryl’s husband Simon also help with the running of the stables.

They purchased the stables in April 2005 and have stabling for 14 horses. Facilities on offer include Backing (horse schooling) and natural horsemanship training methods. Fifteen grazing paddocks are worked on a rotating system which leaves some paddocks free for the grass to recover.

Terry and Sue own two horses – Charley, a Shire horse, and Pagan, a Welsh Cob. Charley, who stands approximately 18 hands high and is still growing was 3 years old in May. One of the stable’s “characters” is Patrick – a 28-year-old racehorse who won four National Hunt races. All the stabled horses have their own individual diet based on size and weight. Farriers visit every other month.

Terry joined Mansfield Brewery 29 years ago in July 1977. He is a trained air pilot and has been flying over 26 years and is a member of the RAF Flying Club at Cranwell, Lincolnshire. He is also the social secretary of the North Notts CAMRA Real Ale Club.

Terry and Sue extend an open invitation to anyone who would like to visit the stables.
(Any gardeners bring bags
for free manure)

Brewery Annual Dinner Dance 2006

The Annual Brewery Dinner Dance held earlier this year at Mansfield Civic Centre was well organised by Sports and Social. It was well attended by approximately 300 guests.

Magicians worked their tricks from table to table and kept everyone wondering how they preformed the illusions. Guests were then entertained by a multi talented duo who sang and played a variety of instruments. This was followed by a disco.

Next year’s Dinner Dance will be on 3rd March 2007 at Mansfield Civic Centre.

Across to Caythorpe (by Gordon Jervis)

Let us cross the fields to Caythorpe

My Grandad used to say.
To fish for tiddlers in the dam
And pick wild flowers, along the way.
So with a net made from a stocking top
Fixed to a length of cane,
We set off in the evening sun
Down the quiet country lane.
All the flowers in profusion grow
On these Nottinghamshire leas

That lay beside the silver stream
Lined with weeping willow trees.
A little taste of paradise,
Though we didn’t know it then,
A fleeting glimpse of heaven and earth
Would not be seen again.
Now more than half a century has passed
And I look back with joy
To evening walks with my Grandad
From where he trod as a boy.

Derek Spedding
Derek Spedding (75) who died in March was born
in Mansfield and known to friends and colleagues as Dick. He had worked as a steel erector before becoming a fitter for Mansfield Brewery in 1983 where he worked until his retirement in 1996.

Dick had many interests and enjoyed going on brewery outings. Dick leaves his wife Dorothy, five sons 27 Grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and his brother Robert.

 

Robin Chadburn was born in Ollerton on 10 November 1919. His father was Francis, the son of William Jackson Chadburn, one of Mansfield Brewery’s founders. Sadly both Francis and then his wife Kate died young. Robin was just nine years old when his mother died leaving him and his two sisters to be brought up by a nanny and a governess. Robin was educated at Malvern School and then went on to study Geography at Oxford University (Exeter College). It was here that he met his wife to be, Dorothy (Bo) in 1939. Robin completed two years of his degree and then volunteered to join the army where he served with the East Riding Yeomanry. From here he was posted to Lulworth Gunnery Wing where he learned to drive tanks. An horrific motorcycle accident in which he nearly lost his leg cut short his army career. He spent upwards of a year in hospital.

Bo and Robin (still on crutches!) were married at Oxford in September 1942.
Soon afterwards he attended Reading University where he completed a one-year degree in Agriculture. They then moved to Lincolnshire where Bo had been brought up, buying Sudbrook Hill Farm, where Robin was to live for the next 63 years, in 1943. His first job after the war was as a Water Officer for the War Agricultural Committee based in Sleaford, laying on mains water to farms. Through this he met Gordon Benoy, an architect, who wanted to take on someone with agricultural experience to help with farm building architecture. Robin loved this role and stayed here until his uncle, Claude Chadburn, asked him to join the Brewery. Claude, Francis’s brother, who had succeeded their father, William Jackson, as Chairman, had lost both of his sons, one in the war and one in a motor accident.

From 1961 until his retirement in 1989 Robin remained at the Brewery, becoming Chairman in 1963 when Claude retired. During this time he oversaw, amongst many other developments, the purchase of Mandora and the acquisition of North Country Brewery in Hull. He loved all aspects of people management and took a great interest in everyone who worked for Mansfield Brewery during his time as Chairman. On behalf of the Brewery he played a very active part in the work of the Brewers’ Society.

Along with brewing, he was for some time a very hands-on farmer at Sudbrook, and took on the Chairmanship of a farmers’ co-operative, Central Wool Growers, in Stamford. He chaired the trustees of Stubton School which cared for children with disabilities, and of course was for many years a trustee of the Baily Thomas Trusts. He was elected onto the South Kesteven District Council and became Chairman of the Highways Committee.

His spare time was taken up to a large extent with his love of cars and everything to do with them. He was rarely seen behind the wheel of anything apart from sports cars and his wonderful Rolls Royce which he took years to bring to ultimate perfection from what looked like a farm vehicle when he first acquired it. He was an ardent member of the Poachers Motor Club in Lincolnshire and of the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Club.

Above all, Robin was a people person. Always interested in everything anyone had to say. An amazing listener with a charming manner.

T. W. Beach (Evesham)

Gordon Hill (Commercial Director Mandora) writes:

When I joined, T.W.Beach had three factories: - Hereford, Paisley near Glasgow and Evesham – the soft drinks packer, covering squashes, the bottling of carbonated drinks and the canning of soft drinks. The head office was in Worcester.

At this time, the owners were Allied Suppliers, owners of the Maypole chain of grocery stores and most of the manufactured goods went to these stores. Allied Suppliers were then sold to Cavenham Foods, who in turn sold the grocery trade to Argyll Foods. T.W. Beach moved from the head office in Worcester to Evesham and became a major supplier of canned goods, preserves and RTOMO (ready to use marmalade oranges – fresh oranges from Seville, mashed and canned for the housewife to add sugar and water!)

Evesham began an own label business and at this time T.W.Beach was the largest supplier of own label soft drinks to the retail trade, covering squashes and carbonated drinks in bottles and cans. Mandora bought the soft drinks business when Cavenham Foods sold their manufacturing business in the U.K.

When Mandora was sold to Barrs, Evesham went to Barrs who only held on to the factory for eighteen months or so before transferring all production to Glasgow. The site was put up for sale for a supermarket site, which was turned down by the local council and is now an almost completed housing estate.

The M.B.R.M.A. A.G.M

Green Fingers - Winter Garden
By Bill Donbavand (Properties)

I was asked to write a few notes on putting the garden to bed for the winter, but do gardens go to bed? Or do they just put on a different dress?

There are the most obvious things to do. When all the annual flowers have finished, clear them away to either a recycling depot or, if you are lucky to
have one, your own compost bin.

Rake over the bare soil and if you have lumpy clay soil, dig in some horticultural grit, it does help to make the soil easier to work with.

Wash out your flower pots as you empty them, it does save a lot of time next May when you need them again and also it prevents any disease spreading.

Thoroughly clean and overhaul your lawnmower, and check to see if it needs a professional sharpening, your lawn will thank you next season.

Buddleia are usually pruned back hard at the end of March, but it is helpful to cut the long branches down to about half size now. This prevents the bush blowing about too much in fierce winds, loosening the root ball. Also make sure any young trees are securely staked.

If any of your roses have shown black spot during the summer it is important to clean all infected leaves away and destroy them – do not compost them as the spores will remain in the soil and re-infect the plant next year.

This is also the time to think about next spring. You can plant bulbs, winter flowering pansies and several varieties of primulas. After a long, cold winter, the sight of snowdrops and other shoots pushing up through the soil is enough to brighten any grey day.

 

Good Afternoon, Your Majesty!

It was an exciting occasion for
Eric and Anita Jackson when they
were presented to the Queen at a garden party at Buckingham Palace
on 12 th June.

Eric and Anita were attending the
party which commemorated the
350th anniversary of the Grenadier Guards.
