George Williamson, Overwood Lane, Mollington, Cheshire
The brewery at Mollington was started in 1866 by Henry Knight from Blackford. He was followed by Edwin Parkes, first in partnership with Henry Capper Woolwich until 1876, then on his own until declared bankrupt in 1881.
George Williamson was listed as a brewer at his pub in Milton Street, Chester between 1841 and 1850. He then brewed at the Nags Head, Bridge Trafford, Cheshire. His son, a second George Williamson, took over in about 1873, and in May 1882, established his brewing business at Mollington.
On retirement, the brewery was sold by auction on 11th May 1912, to Thomas Crump of Chester.
The buildings were demolished in the 1960s and the site is now occupied by a house.
