Heys & Humphries Ltd tin tray dating from the 1960s.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Joseph Hey & Co. Ltd owned a separate subsidiary which bottled beer for Guinness, Bass and Worthington.
Hey & Humphries Ltd bottled at The Calls in Leeds.
Hey's bottled beer brewed in Bradford would be exchanged with Heys & Humphries Ltd to be distributed around off-licences in the Leeds area.
Hey's had an agreement with Guinness to use a red seal label on the bottle necks of its stout.
The beer was naturally matured in the bottle under the expert supervision at the 'House of Heys'
The process involved keeping the beer in holding tanks in order that all batches reached the same stage of maturation before bottling.
