Acknowledgements
Although this website is compiled by me, I have been helped in many different ways by some wonderfully kind people. It was only in April 2004 that I thought I'd better start listing these good eggs as the list was growing and I wanted to acknowledge their help. If I've missed anyone I'm sorry but you can always e-mail me and I'll address this. So many, many thanks are due to:
Patrick Baird at Birmingham Central Library for allowing me to use images from the library's many collections.
Carl Chinn for the plugs on the radio and for permission to use Brummagem photographs.
Leslie Bunting at Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries for allowing me access and utilise the company's archive.
Heather Dowler at Staffordshire Past Track for allowing me to use images from their collection.
Peter Drake at the Local Studies and History Service at Birmingham Central Library for finding lots of photos and items for me.

Stephen Penker for photographs and stories of a selection of Birmingham Pubs.
John Richards for being an important influence in getting me interested in researching pubs and breweries.
