The wonderfully photogenic Park Tavern, an old street corner pub from the days when beer was king. Trumans was at one time the largest brewery in the world following a merger in 1873 with Philips Brewery in Burton, which enabled them to supply, as advertised, London stout and Burton ale. Sadly, the company folded in 1989. Trumans history on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman%27s_Beer
