This major brewery was founded in 1720, registered in 1887 and by 1904 controlled over 600 tied houses. Jointly acquired by local breweries, Steward & Patteson Ltd and Bullard & Sons who carved up the estate between them. The brewery was owned by Bullard until 1964 when it passed to Watney Mann Ltd and became the longest surviving traditional brewery in Norwich until closure in 1985.
