Flinn & Co, Burton Brewery and Mineral Water Works, William Street, Herne Bay, Kent.. Listed in a Directory of 1895. Joseph Flinn was a maltster in Bishop’s Stortford in 1881, employing 43 men and three boys. His two sons, Frank and Harry, took over the brewery but their partnership was dissolved in 1894. Harry went to Canada for two years but returned to run the brewery. He purchased the concern outright in 1902 for £4,566 which included two pubs in Dover. In 1904 Harry Flinn filed his own petition for bankruptcy owing to debts incurred in the business.

Burton Brewery Co, William Street, Herne Bay, Kent.

This Company was formed after Flinn’s bankruptcy; brewing continued but had ceased by 1910. The brewing plant was dismantled and removed in 1911 and the premises became a store for the Canterbury Brewery Co with a taphouse and off-license. The stores were in use by Messrs Fremlins Ltd in 1934.
