Hi just thought I would post these pictures, as it is 20years ago on the 13th January 2013 that it was decided the Exchange brewery would close, and stop beer production.

And on Monday 14th of January 2013 it is 20 years since this was the front page of the Sheffield star.

Hi I ran the Soda Fountain castle market 1967-1983, every sat morning the brewery lads would shout there breakfasr orders as they came up the steps at 8am.Bacon or sausage butties were the order of the day.I also used to buy barrels from the brewery cut in half , paint and then sell them as garden tubs, nice little earner. Great times.
