Breweries A-Z

Recommended Posts

In reading up on brewery history I found constant reference to Alfred Barnard's four volume

"The Noted Breweries of Great Britain and Ireland"

thinking it would be a good reference, I thought, I'll have a copy of that, the £1,500 asking price did cause a rethink on my part !

So, Plan B, and here it is for your early Bank Holiday enjoyment (it was the thought of Stuart having to watch X-Factor that prompted this early posting) - available for download (Parts 1 & 3 cover Sheffield) all 2,183 pages of it.

There will be questions later ... http://www.askabouti...-noted-breweri/ Enjoy !

[if any moderators have time on their hands, please feel free to drop in links to existing entries, photo's, engravings, beermats, adverts, labels (reply to the appropriate letter please); I can work around that.]

Anchor Brewery

Cherry Street.

Henry Tomlinson left the partnership of Richdale and Tomlinson in 1889, starting his own brewery in 1891, on land leased from The Duke of Norfolk, next to Bramall Lane.

Tomlinson committed suicide on 19th June 1891 but his widow carried on, forming Henry Tomlinson Ltd in November 1894.

The Anchor Brewery was badly damaged during the blitz of December 1940.

There was a merger in 1942 OR 1944 with Carter, Milner and Bird when the Hope and Anchor Brewery was created.

Examples :

Ship Inn, Shalesmoor

Sheldon Hotel, Hill Street.

There is/was an Anchor Brewery relief on the remains of the Cherry Street Brewery walls.

Tomlinson was mentally deranged; whilst walking from his home at Woodlands, Dore New Road, Totley to the Brewery at Cherry Street he entered a Police Station at Highfield and told Police Constable Dickinson that boys were shouting at him and that he had murdered his wife and four children with his walking stick, he asked that the police contact friends to meet him at the Brewery.

He went to his chief clerk and cashiers home, Mr Arthur Podgson of 327 Shoreham Street, accompanied by his young groom Charles Atkinson. He attempted suicide with a teaspoon then again with sugar tongs. His coachman almost prevented his third, successful, suicide bid with a knife; receiving a badly cut hand in the process. The jugular vein and windpipe were both cut. Doctors Hardwicke and Hunt were in attendance.

The ambulance van carrying Tomlinson’s body suffered a broken axle near Mr George Senior’s Sheaf Street works and injured Inspector Walsh, the driver and Police Constable Bannister, the mortuary officer. Walsh having been thrown into the road was injured when one of the wheels of the van passed over his leg; Bannister fell heavily on his shoulder.

Tomlinson was 46 at the time of his death, he was a son of the late Mr Tomlinson, of the Angel Hotel, Moorhead. He left a widow and four children.

Bass, Ratcliffe and Gretton Ltd

Brewers and c.

8-9 Corn Exchange Buildings

William Boden, Manager Bass, Ratcliffe and Gretton (Burton on Trent), Brewers of Ale and Porter, 8-9 Corn Exchange Buildings (Kelly’s 1893)

8-9 Corn Exchange Buildings and Burton-on-Trent (White’s 1905)

8-9 Corn Exchange Buildings and Burton-on-Trent (White’s 1919)

The Bass & Co Brewery was established by William Bass in 1777 and was one of the first breweries in Burton upon Trent. Prior to establishing his brewery, Bass transported ale for another brewer by the name of Benjamin Printon; Bass sold this carrier business to the Pickford family, using the funds to establish his own brewery.[11]

Early in the company's history, Bass was exporting bottled beer around the world with the Baltic trade being supplied through the port of Hull. Growing demand led to the building of a second brewery in Burton upon Trent in 1799 by Michael Bass, the founder's son, who entered into partnership with John Ratcliff. The water produced from boreholes in the locality became popular with brewers, with 30 different breweries operating in the mid-19th century. Michael's son, another Michael, succeeded on the death of his father in 1827, renewed the Ratcliff partnership and brought in John Gretton, and created the company of 'Bass, Ratcliff and Gretton' as it traded in the 19th century.

The opening of the railway through Burton in 1839 led to Burton becoming pre-eminent as a brewing town. In the mid-1870s, Bass, Ratcliff and Gretton accounted for one third of Burton's output. The company became a public limited company in 1888, following the death of Michael in 1884, who was succeeded by his son, another Michael, later Lord Burton.

Berry, Samuel

Samuel Berry

Crown Brewery

Langsett Road

Samuel Berry was the younger son of Thomas Berry of the Ecclesall Brewery. Samuel, his older brother Thomas and his father Thomas were all brewers at Ecclesall.

The sons bought property around and about and Thomas Sen. passed over the :

Albion Tavern, Jessop Street/Sylvester Street

Bush Inn, Little Sheffield

Cricklow Arms, Whitehouse Lane (about which I have been able to find absolutely nothing).

Minerva Tavern, Charles Street.

Samuel also bought properties e.g. The Great Gun, Wicker (October 1861). He acquired land at the bottom of Whitehouse Lane in January 1862.

Though the business wasn’t doing overly well Samuel acquired further tied houses

Cricketer’s Arms, Bramall Lane (formerly St. Mary’s Tavern) – April 1862

Victoria Hotel, Penistone Road February 1864

Saddle, West Street May 1864.

Lease 25th June 1868

Henry Hawley of 34 Great St. Helens in the City of London to Samuel Berry of Sheffield, common brewer “The Porter Cottage” in Porter Street, Sheffield, for seven years at a yearly rent of £20.

Samuel Berry entered into partnership with Arthur Cavendish Onslow Boddington in 1868 but Boddington was declared bankrupt in 1869.

By September 1870 the Crown Brewery, producing 128 quarters of beer weekly, was up for sale.

William Henry Birks, Brewer, Crown Brewery, 23 Langsett Road White’s 1871

William Henry Birks acquired the Crown Brewery in 1871 and ran both it and the Ladysbridge Brewey until 1895, when the Crown was sold to James Haynes. [berry’s taken over in 1865 by Birks (of the Ladysbridge Brewery), continued until about 1890.]

Haynes bought the Crown from Elizabeth Birks and Rawson Birks (widow and son) in September 1895.

Acquisitions :

1896 Gret Gun (now the Big Gun)

White Lion Harvert Lane

1897 Dusty Miller, Nursery Street

1st August 1898 James Haynes’s son Thomas Henry Haynes took over though still trading as James Haynes and Co.

April 1900 Tankard Inn, Stocks Hill, Ecclesfield

1903 Bankrupt, only the Big Gun, the Tankard and the Cuthbert Arms left.

William Bolsover, Brewer (Haynes and Co.), 67 Langsett Road (White’s 1905)

The Crown Brewery Company was formed 2nd January 1907 by William Bolsover, but by 1909 he is shown as

“late of Langsett Road, brewer, now an ironfounder”.

One Shilling Ale in 9 and 18 gallon casks, “a fine pale and delicately hopped brew”.
