History
Founded in 1837 at the Market Street Brewery, they moved to their final location in 1875. It became one of the largest regional breweries in the country taking over a number of breweries. By 1998 the group operated this brewery and Wards in Sheffield. Soon after a new Chief Executive was appointed in 1998, they announced plans to closed both breweries and sell national branded beers in their pubs. Following a massive local uproar and a failed attempt to buy the breweries, they closed in July 1999. To complete the story, soon afterwards the pubs were sold to Pubmaster.
