Brewing started on this site in 1757 and was acquired by John Smith in 1847. A new brewery was built in 1883/4 with the old brewery being sold to a nephew who set up Samuel Smith. It was acquired by Courage in 1970. It still brews today now under the ownership of Heineken UK although John Smith's cask beer is brewed at Caledonian.
