Thwaites Brewery
Thwaites Brewery is a regional brewery founded in 1807 by Daniel Thwaites in Blackburn, Lancashire, England, and now located near Mellor in the Ribble Valley. Part of the company's beer business was sold to Marston's in March 2015, and the original brewery facility was demolished in 2019. Today, Thwaites still produces beer, but in much smaller quantities. In 1999, the Mitchell brewery in Lancaster closed down, and was bought in part by Thwaites. Lancaster Bomber, an English ale named in honor of the Avro Lancaster, has since been available from Thwaites public houses after being acquired in the takeover. Lancaster Bomber is now brewed by Marston's, as is Wainwright, the other Thwaite's beer. The company has over 270 pubs, mainly in the North of England but reaching from the North Lakes area down to Solihull & Leicestershire. The brewery invested heavily in pasteurised keg beers, especially those powered by nitrous in the 1990s. However, it is now working to increase the m ...

Thomas Thwaites (designer)
Thomas Thwaites is a British designer and writer. He describes himself as "a designer (of a more speculative sort), interested in technology, science, futures research & etc." Thwaites studied economics and biology at University College London and in 2009 gained an MA in Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art.

A toaster has about 400 components: he simplified the materials list to copper, steel, plastic, mica and nickel and attempted to mine, refine, and otherwise process all the raw materials needed. He published ''The Toaster Project: Or a Heroic Attempt to Build a Simple Electric Appliance from Scratch'' (Princeton Architectural Press, 2011: ), and gave a TED talk "How I ...
