Steward & Patteson Ltd, Pockthorpe Brewery, Norwich, Norfolk.
In 1793, John Patteson purchased Charles Greaves' brewery in Pockthorpe. Before the end of the 18th century, Patteson had acquired James Beevor and Jehosophat Postle in Norwich, and Fisher's North Quay Brewery in Yarmouth.
Two members of the Steward family joined Patteson's son in 1820, when the company became known as Steward, Patteson & Steward. In 1830, the Oak Street brewery of John Morse was acquired; then in 1837, Peter Finch's brewery, at which stage the company became Steward, Patteson, Finch & Company.
In 1845, they acquired the Yarmouth brewery of Samuel Paget & Son with 25 houses; in 1866, Bell's of Gorleston with 20 houses; and in 1878, Bircham & Sons (Reepham) with 52 houses.
Registered as Steward & Patteson Ltd in July 1895. Further acquisitions followed:
- Morse & Woods (Swaffham) in 1895 with 51 pubs.
- William J. J. Bolding (Weybourne) in 1897 with 14 pubs.
- The Eye Brewery in 1914, with 20 pubs from Adnams PLC of Southwold.
- Charles Pearse The Crown Brewery, East Dereham in 1922.
- W. & T. Bagge (Kings Lynn) in August 1929 with 75 houses.
- Soames & Co. Ltd of Spalding in 1949 with 240 pubs.
- In 1957, a merger with East Anglian Breweries Ltd of Ely.
- In 1961, they joined Bullard & Sons Ltd in a joint takeover of Morgan's Brewery Co. Ltd of Norwich, receiving half of Morgans' pubs.
Steward & Patteson were acquired by Watney Mann Ltd in 1963. At the time, they owned 632 pubs, and operated breweries at Norwich and Ely.
Brewing ceased January 1970, and most buildings demolished shortly afterwards. The chimney was demolished in 1974 and the site cleared. Watney Mann continued brewing at Morgans until 1985.
