Given my weather extended journey time this morning, managed to scrutinise the papers carefully today- must have included the same publication as you.

Anyway , founded in 1698 which brewery claims to be the oldest in England?

Bass?
I know they have the oldest trademark in the world.

Not bass- not even sure they still have a brewery

Youngs?
Is it a brewer or site of an actual brewery you are after?

pretty sure youngs has gone the way of all things too. think it is the one with the red stripey logo (obv not red stripe though) .

but i don't have a very good guess so: sam smith?

I had a pint of Youngs the other day. Must be under license.

Harveys? (only because i live 15 minutes away from the brewery and couldnt be seen to overlook them and then be shown up!)

Its the name of the brewer that I am after.

Youngs was taken over by charles wells and production shifted to the latters site in bedford AFAIK. Youngs pubs now all serve bombardier which is wells' flagship tipple.
