Former brewery, Mitcheldean

I was very surprised to find this unexpectedly while passing through. Initially owned by the Wintle family this brewery became the largest in the Forest of Dean in the 19th century. It was acquired by Cheltenham and Hereford Breweries in 1930. After 1930 it housed the wartime base of British Acoustic Films, later Rank Precision Industries. By 1960 manufacture of Rank Xerox photocopiers led to rapid expansion but decline followed in the 1980s-1990s. The site is now a large business village with these two buildings from the original brewery on the edge of a complex with multiple large buildings.
