Today the Plough and Anchor drinkers decamped to Hook Norton for a brewery visit. The brewery still operates a steam engine to power the water pumps, grain hoists and milling machines. The whole place is a wonderful piece of Victorian engineering, and much of this is still operated.

I intend going back there during the day when the machinery is in operation.

After the visit we had a few drinks in the brewery visitor centre, and then onto another pub for sandwiches and chips.
