The label was issued by J. Booth, of the Broadway Brewery, Burton on Trent. It previously operated as Cliff & Co, but was owned by John Booth from about 1886. When John Booth died in 1895, the brewery was closed and put up for sale. Booth & Co kept going for a few years and was bought by North Eastern Breweries of Sunderland in 1898.

Thank you. It sounds like it was an ever-present at the brewery all the time it was associated with John Booth. Were there other beers with a similar lifespan?
