Early 1920s Mr. R. W.
Thrower started the company from scratch at premises at South Quay,
King's Lynn. Mid 1920s he took over Watsons of Hunstanton and ran both
factories until his untimely death at the age of 42 in 1938, winning
both gold and silver medals for his drinks during that time. His Widow
ran the business through the 1939/45 war supplying RAF and Army camps as
well as local pubs etc. The Hunstanton factory was closed for security
reasons during that time, and the Lynn factory was the only one of five
in the town to remain open throughout the war. After WW11 the two sons
took over and combined both factories into a new purpose built one on
the Lynn Hardwick Estate in 1964 and production continued there until
1971 when the factory was sold and the firm moved to Hunstanton, trading
from there as wholesalers finally closing in 1984. At its height it had
ten vehicles on the road and employed around 30 staff. |
