This close up of image 'gwrsa619' shows the primary source of business at the shed, the ales of the esteemed brewery owned by the Flowers family. The ales were shipped in both barrels and bottles in crates as seen above. Destinations were often chalked on the doors to assist the men in 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.
