The Two Brewers Beerhouse Clifton

The Two Brewers Beerhouse: Grange Street, Clifton

This beerhouse is only mentioned in Bedfordshire & Luton Archives & Records Service held documents in licensing registers and one ale catalogue and postcard. It was in operation by 1872 and closed some time after 1915, perhaps by 1920 as directory evidence suggests that Clifton lost a beer retailer some time between those two dates (beerhouses are not named in directories).
