Transcription of Blue Plaque: The Alexandra Beer Hall 7 2nd Avenue In the early days of Alex, many women turned to the illicit brewing of beer to make a living. In the 1940s municipal authorities put an end to this, and created beer halls to generate funds to cover the costs of managing the township. The Heritage Portal
