Mower & Pearson, Brewers, Wine and Spirit Merchants, Scotland Street & Pea Croft

[Ponytail]

Mower and Pearson, brewers and wine & spirit merchants, Scotland Street. 

Mower & Co. appear to have started out at 49 Scotland Street as wine and spirit merchants; 1852 recorded as brewers. It appears Henry William Pearson may have been an accountant  before going into partnership with Mower to become Mower & Pearson.

1857 Directory reveals they were victuallers, wine & spirit merchants and No. 49 Scotland Street was named "Farm Yard."  Premises at Pea Croft were being used as a brewery. 

The Flood of 1864 affected their business, losing the Inn at Malin Bridge and Casks and Bottles they had "lent" out, for which they put in claims for. 

Nathaniel James Fewsdale Mower died aged 61 1875.

Pearson, Henry William, accountant. and collector, 18 Bank Street, h. Hanover. (Is this Henry William Pearson later of Mower & Pearson)

Pearson & Favell, wine and spirit merchant, 10 East Parade. (wondered if this Pearson was related) 

Pearson, Henry Wm, wine and spirit merchant (Mower and Pearson) h. Crosspool. 

 

Nathaniel James Fewsdale Mower died 1875 aged 61

 

Whites Directory 1879

Mower & Pearson, brewers, wine and spirit merchants, 56 Pea Croft and 61 & 63 Scotland Street

 

Mower's partner, Pearson isn't listed separately in the Aphabetical list, quite possible he could have either died or living out of Sheffield. 

William Burgoyne Fernell who used to be in a partnership with Frederick Hunt at the Albion Brewery is listed as:

Fernell, William Burgoyne, brewer, (Mower & Hunt), Scotland Street, h. Oaklands, Broomhall Place

Hunt, Frederick, Broomhall, 8 Broomhall Road

Hunt, George Herbert, brewery manager, 3 Summerville Terrace, Whitehouse Lane

Speculating, Frederick Hunt retired, dissolved the partnership or went out of business. William Burgoyne Fernell appears to have taken over at Scotland Street. No indication which Brewery George Herbert Hunt was manager of but (this is purely my thoughts) could have stayed behind at the Albion Brewery under the new owner or quite possible it could be at Scotland Street.
