A Brief History of Friary Meux:

Friary Meux was formed in 1956 through the merger of Friary, Holroyd & Healy’s Brewery and Meux (of Nine Elms in London). At its peak, Friary Meux was a major brewery in the south of England with hundreds of pubs and off-licences. This ashtray is a relic of a bygone era in British brewing history.
