Hi everyone Just dome some armchair mapping in Hereford where the HP Bulmer site is a massive industrial complex so I don't think ciderhouse or press or mill is somehow appropriate so I've labelled it industrial=brewery for the meantime. Perhaps we should also have industrial=cider? The Bulmers site in tagQueries which is in Ireland will probably be the same (and possibly Magners - but that might come out of the Bulmers Irish site)
