Cains - Gallery
See:
The mainly Victorian terracotta confection that is Cain's Brewery in Liverpool
There is much detail on view…
….including the original Robert Cain trademark who built the brewery from 1883 to 1902
There is much discussion over whether the trade mark was a goat with two horns….
…or a unicorn with just one
But detail from a poster proves it is a goat. Horns lower down the façade have been lost over the years
Higsons took over in 1923 and went to some trouble to rebadge the brewery to match the original
Someone got a good view across the city
The brewery was completed in 1902…
..and the offices in 1883
Ventilation above the old cooler rooms
Ancient and modern. The brewery is again Cains after Higsons, Boddingtons, GB Breweries and Danish Brewing Group
Imagine a brickie doing this in the 21st century
Higsons name but RC is left below and the creature above does look like a unicorn!
The brewery stack well trussed against the winds that blow off the Mersey. The tower is only accessed by telecomms to service their gear.
