Close up of image 'gwrsa619' showing the loading into a covered van of the different types of beer shipped by Flowers & Sons Brewery, casks of ales and crates of bottled beers. Destinations were often chalked on the doors to assist the men loading the beer thereby ensuring the loads arrived at the correct destinations. On the door of the Van above is the name 'Oxford' in rather flowery (apologies for the pun) lettering.
