Harvey's foremen and cellar workers pose in the company's Denmark Street yard with a lorry loaded with 690 cases of wine for export to Canada, marking the end of prohibition in that country.
Both Canada and the USA introduced bans on alcohol in the early 1900s - the era of Prohibition. When Prohibition ended in Canada in 1927, and in the USA in 1933, the employees of Harvey's in Bristol had to work around the clock for weeks to fill the new orders for wine and sherry.
I wish to enquire about the content displayed on this page.
