East End Beer Bottle Labels
November 2, 2017
Paul Shearsmith kindly sent me these splendid mid-twentieth century labels from Charrington’s at the Anchor Brewery in Mile End and Mann Crossman & Paulin at the Albion Brewery in Whitechapel. It makes me thirsty just contemplating their bold designs, strong typefaces and vibrant warm colours. Anyone fancy joining me for a pint of Toby Brown Ale or a glass of Mann’s Barley Wine? Cheers!

Damn! Far too many of these are like old, beloved friends.
Greetings from Boston,
“Anyone fancy joining me for a pint of Toby Brown Ale or a glass of Mann’s Barley Wine?”
No thank you, but I will try a glass of Mann’s Festival Barley Wine please…
These beer mats have an uncanny ability to evoke memories of pub conversations I had many decades ago. I can also smell the tobacco smoke and taste the beer.
Well, I get thirsty while looking at these fine labels!
Love & Peace
