The Southsea Brewery was founded 1814 and passd into the Long family in 1839. First registered in 1924, which provides good dating evidence for some labels and taken over by Brickwood & Co in 1933. The brewery was closed in 1934, and such was the reputation of Long’s beers, the name was used by Brickwoods for some time afterwards.

I am interested because my maternal grandfather was the son of the Longs. They lived in a large house called Down End. My Grandfathers name was Edwin Walter Long.I never met him as he died long before I was born.

We have found a circa 750ml Long and Co glass bottle. How much is it worth do you know?
