The Silver Creek Distillery |
|
In 1871, the Silver Creek distillery was running under the control of W S Collins. By 1884, W S Hume & Co. had gained control. Cecil (1999) notes that George T Stagg manged the plant and owned a share of the company. Insurance underwriter records compiled in 1892 suggest that the distillery was of frame construction with a metal or slate roof. The property included a cattle shed, 32 ft south of the still house, and two warehouses: Warehouse A -- a free warehouse, brick construction with a metal or slate roof, located 35 ft west of the still. Warehouse B -- half free, half bonded, brick construction with a metal or slate roof, located 65 ft north of the still. At the time, the still was being operated by W S Hume & Co. The insurance records also note that the warehouses of the Warwick Distillery had been built only feet away. By 1905, the company had become Hume & Lancaster Distilleries Co., which was controlled in part by the Trust. The distillery eventually became wholey owned and run by the Trust.
