Known to all as the 'Monkey', even the sign shows a swinging ape! Once a thriving Wilson's house, but as industry has moved away, that trade dwindled along with sales of cask beer. History: 1937 house let to Walker & Homfray's Brewery by the Palatine Bottling Co, originally a Stopford's Brewery house; latterly conveyed to Wilsons Brewery in March 1968.
