Bass Brewing (Alton), Manor Park Brewery, Alton, Hampshire. This large Harp Lager brewery was established by the Harp Consortium in 1961. The Consortium consisted of Guinness in partnership with Courage Barclays, Mitchells & Butlers, and Scottish & Newcastle. It first brewed in December 1962. In September 1979, Bass Charrington Ltd acquired the brewery and the adjacent Alton Brewery Co site. The brands brewed were predominantly Carling and Tennents. Following the government's 'beer orders', Bass sold the brewery to Coors in December 2001.

UrbexCamo JANUARY 18, 2018 AT 11:52 PM Just an update… working next to the site at the moment and security is still quite hot but there are ways in! New cameras up sice the last few times we got in but externally nothing has changed in years. There is also a big abandoned house belonging to the brewery to the left of the main gate, worth a look if you're there.

A big abandoned house belonging to the brewery...could that be the house for the head brewer of the Alton Brewery?
