It's near the police custody suite down there on the left-hand side if you're going down to Hawley from Red Hill. And also, for a while, it was sold in Sainsbury's. The guys tell me, quote... We tried to salvage the business over the past year and more recently had the potential of a buyout, but all efforts unfortunately failed. We're, of course, pretty devastated.

It's been our life since we founded the brewery nearly 14 years ago. As gutted as we are to have a bit of closure on the business after a very stressful few years, it does feel like a weight off our shoulders. Yeah, By The Horns was founded in 2011 by Alex Bull, you kind of get how they got their name, and Chris Mills in South East London.

Following a decade of successes in 2021, they made a big decision to move production to that warehouse in Salfords, gave them more space, a big upgrade, and had a potential to produce 12,000 HL of beer. Now, I had to look up what HL was. I didn't realise HL is a hectolitre, which is a metric unit of volume equating to 100 litres.

So one HL is 100 litres, and they had the capacity to actually brew 12,000 of those. That's a lot of beer, isn't it? That's a fantastic Saturday night, that is. And during the COVID pandemic, they were okay. They were seeing successes with their online sales, but then things started to go a bit south in 2023.

They say in the short term, they're still going to be operating their bar that's inside AFC Wimbledon football stadium. And they're going to be working on the Crazy Gang beer brand for that football club as well. They're looking at other beer brewing bar hospitality concepts.

So our sympathies and support to Chris and Alex of By The Horns, who I'd met just a few weeks ago and had already recorded an interview with them before this news broke. So unfortunately, obviously, the interview talking about their life and times and. promoting the beer and the brewery and the taproom down there at Salford's. We'll never see the light of day.

Our complete and utter sympathies to Chris. As they say, it is a bit of a relief. They've got fingers in other pies and we wish them all the very best for the future. OK, someone's made a mistake. Get this.

Earlswood and Whitebushes councillors reporting that trees recently planted on Whitebushes Common as part of two and a half thousand donated by Surrey County Council had to be dug up and taken away by Reigate and Banstead Council because... They'd been planted in the wrong place. So let's give you the background to this one. Whitebushes Common is a species rich in grassland.

So it's part of the Earlswood Common site of nature conservation interest. and Simon Elson, who's chair of the Reigate Area Conservation Volunteers, went along to Whitebush's pond and spotted these other trees which had been planted there.

So he got in touch with the green spaces team from the council, and they have apologised for what they call the genuine oversight and human error, and then went back down and... dug those trees back up again and moved them on. They're now situated at Battlebridge Running Track open space and Crossway open space, both immersed, as you know, and down at Tanyard Meadows in Hawley.
