TRADE CARD FOR EDWARD PETERS

A trade card of Edward Peters, Godstone Ale Brewery, has turned up on Ebay but described as circa 1895. This is incorrect as it is a much earlier relic - Edward Peters is listed as a brewer at Godstone in the 1839 Piggott's Directory. This is also confirmed in the 1841 census. However, by 1851 there is no longer any trace of the person nor of the concern.
