John Brown (31 December 1795- 23 October 1890)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Churchyard of St Peter and St Paul, Tring, Hertfordshire )〕 was a brewer in Tring, Hertfordshire. Born in Okeford Fitzpaine in Dorset, he moved to Tring in 1826. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Architecture )〕 His brewery was in Tring High Street, and he built several public houses in the area. The coming of the railway the 1830s was advantageous to the business. (The brewery is not to be confused with the present-day Tring Brewery). ==Coming of the railway== In the 1830s, a railway line, of the London and Birmingham Railway, was built, which passed near the town. Since it used shallow gradients, a cutting was created through chalk hills near Tring between 1834 and 1837. The cutting was the largest created at that time, being 4 km long and 12 m deep. It was mostly dug manually.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tring Cutting )〕 The navvies employed in its construction provided business for breweries in Tring, including that of John Brown.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History of Tring )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Brewers in Hertfordshire, by Allan Whitaker )〕 During the 1830s he built several pubs in the area, which had a distinctive architectural style.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History )〕 In Tring, these included the Britannia (the present Norfolk House) and the King's Arms. The King's Arms is away from the town centre: John Brown expected that the town would expand with the coming of the railway, and that the pub would be in a busy area; however, the expansion did not happen as he expected. 〔 Another of his buildings is near to the railway station about two miles from Tring; it was built in 1838 under arrangement with the London and Birmingham Railway Company. Its name was originally the Harcourt Arms, after the Harcourt family who owned Pendley Manor; it was renamed, some time between 1845 and 1851, the Royal Hotel.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=British Listed Buildings )〕 In 1851 John was a farmer and a wine and spirit merchant, as well as a brewer; in 1881 he was employing nine men at the brewery. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Brown (brewer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
