Crosswell’s Cardiff Brewery Ltd

The brewery was originally founded as an agency for the sale of Showell’s Brewery beers in South Wales. The company was registered as Crosswell’s Cardiff Brewery Ltd in 1897 to amalgamate the Caerphilly & Castle Brewery Ltd with Crosswells Ltd. Acquired by Andrew Buchan’s Rhymney Breweries in 1936 and brewing ended in 1947. It would be interesting to know if the different designs of the beehive corresponded to particular years. I have assumed that the Queen Street Offices were the first, followed by St Mary Street.

    I’m looking for help in identifying an old photograph. The picture would have been taken at the turn of the last century, probably 1900-1920ish. It is of a man aged around 20-30 and a boy aged in mid teens. They are standing outside a pub with a sign –
    Crown & Anchor
    PHILLIPS
    CROSSWELLS
    ALE & DRAUGHT
    SPIRITS
    Advertising on the ground floor windows and the window above the main door show the words – Bass in a bottle. Would you be able to help with a possible location for this pub?
    Thank you.
