This page previously contained a picture of The Old Elm, Start Hill. Bishop's Stortford. It is now known to have been over the county boundary in Essex. For more information see Postcards of Hertfordshire Pubs. John Meyer (john
@t anvilfarm.demon.co.uk) provided the following information
about the Brewery:
The Old Elm was a Hawkes house, the
Stortford brewers. Hawkes Brewery
was sizable, stretching north from Water Lane to Northgate End and
east as far as the river where Waitrose’s supermarket
now stands. The only evidence of the brewery’s former presence here
are the buildings that currently line Water
Lane, including that once occupied by Midland Bank at the corner of
North Street. Closer inspection of the walls reveal
they have been ‘capped’ at present roof height, the original
buildings standing much taller, with the largest being five storeys
high.
