West Country Breweries were formed in 1958 when the Stroud Brewery merged with the Cheltenham Brewery. Both by coincidence started operating in 1760. Plaques similar to this were attached to their estate of pubs from 1958 until about 1967 as, although Whitbread took over West Country in 1963, the logo remained in use for a few years. The foregoing information came from this website http://www.easywell.co.uk/pubs/july2006plaques.htm which also has a list of pubs that either have or had these plaques attached.
