Talk:Percy Chapman

In 1923, Chapman joined a Kent brewery, H & G Symonds.
Just a coincidence maybe, but I wonder if this firm, which I cannot trace, had any connection with the well-known Berkshire brewery of that time called H & G Simonds Ltd?

 * Maybe the article's source got the county wrong? It might be safest just to say "In 1923, Chapman joined a brewery, H & G Symonds", i.e. not to specify the county. JH (talk page) 15:24, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That is possible. I'll check that I didn't get it wrong myself, but it may well be a mistake by Lemmon. Sarastro1 (talk) 20:02, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

It was the Mackeson brewery, in Hythe, which was bought by Simonds in 1920, and then sold to Jude, Hanbury in 1929, and then subsumed with it into Whitbread. Lemmon must mention George Mackeson, scion of the brewing family, who was at Uppingham before Chapman, and was later President of Kent CCC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.251.69 (talk) 11:30, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes this is correct, and the mistake was mine. Oops! Sarastro1 (talk) 19:15, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
