Update on Eclipse Brewery location

UPDATE
It appears that the Eclipse Brewery stood around the junction of Fernally Street and Mottram Road - where the corner of Morrisons is.

The middle of this map appears to be the approximate site of Eclipse Brewery.

    Well done Nancy... I had been meaning to do something about this since Barry left a comment for us on the Turbine Garage post see below.

    Hi everybody the turbine garage was BP petrol
    i used to 5 shillings worth from there to the right of there was Lewis St Harry Woods potato merchants using the old tram sheds.
    to the left of tubine was Harry Woods Bannana sheds where they ripened them I remember on the window bottom were jam jars with huge spiders from the wooden bannana crates. In the same yard was Eclipse Brewery which made Sasparala,ginger beer,etc in wooden vats i used to climb inside and scrub them out after every batch then used to bottle them into stone jars
    Barry.

    Cheers for that Barry
