World's largest collection of brewery trays kept in a garage

Richard Percival, 62, has spent over 40 years amassing the world's largest collection of beer trays, with 1,500 items from around the globe. His collection began in 1982 during a football away day when he received his first tray in Brighton. Richard’s passion for brewery history has grown into a "mini-museum" in his garage, displaying 300 pre-World War II trays. His collection, which includes trays worth between £20 to £100, has gained international attention. Richard’s "Holy Grail" is a Thomas Salt tray, and he’s created a brewery encyclopedia website to document his collection. His wife Susan initially thought his hobby was odd but now supports it.
