I went to the John Lycett (Convict artist) showing at Newcastle art gallery yesterday and one of his water colours from 1825 was of an estate at kissing point. That estate was of one James Squires. The description told of his hop growing and his beer selling amongst other things.
History buffs may be interested. Newcastle brewers should take an opportunity to see a lot of paintings of Newcastle in the early 1800's.
