Burton Weir Brewery

Thomas, a brewer from Oxford, founded Royds Brewery in Sheffield in the 1830’s – it was later renamed the Burton Weir Brewery (see Alfred Barnard).
Taken over in 1903 by Whitworth’s of Wath-on-Dearne and the brewery was closed almost immediately.
It had the largest maltings complex of all the Sheffield breweries.
