There was a request for something on William Stones of Sheffield.
I've not a great deal of information on the brewery, but I'm happy to share what I have. Which is just a few analyses of their beers.

Note that Stones were one of the breweries where the IPA was stronger than the standard Pale Ale. At only 1s 2d a gallon, their Pale Ale was a Guinea Ale. And probbaly in the range 1050º - 1055º.
