Description:Folk dancers pictured in the brewery yard, Uttoxeter. The dancers are from the annual tour of the English Folk Song and Dance Society Staffordshire Group, which visited various villages and towns in the county. The Uttoxeter group was very strong at this time.

The brewery closed in the mid-1930s, after which time the Uttoxeter Urban District Council took over the premises for use as a depot to house fire engines and ambulance. Behind the dancers can be seen the loading docks for the brewery. To the right is the Civil Defence Club building. The buildings have since been demolished and the site is now occcupied by the Maltings Shopping Precinct.
