Charrington, Head & Co. Ltd, Abbey Brewery, Lichfield Street / Abbey Street, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire.

Former Meakin's London and Burton Brewery purchased by them in 1871 and completely rebuilt in 1872. Operated as above until 1880 when it became plain Charrington & Co.

Run as a separate concern from the London brewery until Charrington & Co. Ltd. registered in July 1897. Brewing transferred to London in 1925 and the brewery sold to Yeomans, Cherry and Curtis for maltings. 86 houses sold separately.

Demolished late 1960s, site now occupied by DIY store. The Brewery Tap, the Leopard, survives.
