The Old Brewery was founded by Robert Bentley in 1840. The Company was not registered until 1949 and succumbed to the advances of Hammond’s United Breweries in 1956. The brewery closed soon afterwards.

South Yorkshire Stingo by David Lloyd Parry has a brief entry on Brampton Bierlow which states the following:
Bull’s Head
James Ashton was publican-brewer here in 1879.
I’m currently working with Rotherham licensing records from around that period so will have a look to see whether there is any supporting or contradictory information in there.

… and the licensing records rather discredit there having been a Bull’s Head brewery on Knollbeck Lane in 1879 (perhaps a typo on the year?). Still a lot of investigating to do, but at the moment I’d wager that if there ever was a brewery producing beer on that stretch of road it had ceased operations by 1866 at the very lastest.
