ARE there any readers who can help me please to find out more information on a former York brewery company called JJ Hunt, who owned the Ebor Brewery at Aldwark?

My reason for asking is because older residents in Killinghall, near Harrogate, have mentioned that one of the village’s three pubs, The Three Horseshoes, was once owned by Hunts, which I’ve discovered following a visit to York Reference Library, had a history in the city going back to the early 1800s.

The company was acquired by Hartlepool brewer, Camerons, in 1953 but their Ebor Brewery remained a landmark in the city until the buildings were demolished in 1972.

Although the library has a photograph of the brewery, I couldn’t find anything visual on any of the products relating to the company. I would be interested in seeing or hearing about, any images, in the form of beer mats, labels, merchandising or photos of any of the memorabilia connected to Hunts or the Ebor Brewery, so that I could share such information with the present licensee of The Three Horseshoes and those Killinghall residents who still remember when the former York company owned the pub.
