1 Radford was known for miles around for its beer. In 1900 a new brewery was constructed. Owing to a greatly increasing demand the building was extended in 1907. A malting kiln was constructed in 1911. A deep well was sunk in search of water with a suitable nitrogen level. In 1969 most of the site was sold for the erection of stores and offices.
