H C Hammans, East Street, Andover, Hampshire.

Variously known as East Street Brewery or Town Steam Brewery. Henry Hammans came to Andover in the 1860s and joined the pre-existing Colcock's Brewery in 1869, eventually becoming the sole owner. When he died in 1901, his son ran the brewery until 1919.

Acquired by Strong & Co Ltd in October 1919. The site than became first a chicken hatchery, and then the premises of the Andover Family Laundry before demolition in the 1960s.
