Biographical history

The Anchor Brewery in Lewisham was acquired by Whitbread at the end of 1890 for the price of £185,000. It had previously been owned by H. and V. Nicholl Limited who had bought it in 1866. The initial motive for the purchase was to use the premises as a bottling depot for distribution to the Whitbread market south of the Thames however Whitbread also had the added incentive of gaining control of the Anchor's tied trade that amounted to 24,000 barrels a year.
