The white house on the left is the brewery house where Robert Cattle lived. The entrance to the brewery was between the house and chapel. This is the house labelled '17 Chapmangate', in later directories, that Herbert Meynell (grocer) was living in by 1929. He used the old brewery buildings for his grocery provisions warehousing and delivery service to the local villages. A brewers dray can be seen delivering a barrel of beer to one of the inns in the area.
