Ironically, your best bet may be a fellow Yorkshire man by the name of BribieG. Loves researching bronzed brews.
 
I suggest you contact a member here, korev, he actually wrote the book Bronzed Brews.
 
Not suer he hasn't retired but
Dr Brett Stubbs at Sothern Cross University did research on Australian brewing history, might be worth an email

Hi ,
If any of you happy mashers want UK recipies, pop me an email to eddbrewer6@gmail. com , I'll send a few lists of Breweries that I've got records of , and then you can pick a beer, I'll be doing the conversions based on a 30 litre kit with 75% mash efficiency,
Cheers ,
