Quite right it should have said miniature Victorian ...., also didn't say but it claims to be the oldest brewery in Britain 16 something.==================================

1971 Series III 109
The Three Tuns is also one of only four pub-breweries to survive through the 'Red Barrel Revolution' in the 1970s when the Big Six keg brewers almost destroyed proper beer for good. Oh, how things have changed since then - thank goodness.
From memory, three of the four were in Shropshire or the west midlands:
Three Tuns, Bishops Castle
All Nations, Madeley
Fox and Hounds, Stottesden
Blue Anchor, Helston
I (just) remember visiting all of them some time in the late 70s. I think the Fox and Hounds is now gone but the others survive. The chap I did the tour with had a macaw called Spingo - one of the Blue Anchor beers!
Edit:
My pal Google says I was wrong about the Fox and Hounds. Number four was Ma Pardoes - The Old Swan in Netherton. Time and too much real ale fogs the memory
