H B Clark & Co. (Successors) Ltd, Westgate Brewery, Parliament Street, Wakefield, West Yorkshire WF2 9SW

Founded 1906. The brewery was in operation until 1960 supplying the free trade only and not brewing continuously. Brewing recommenced July 1982 in a new brewhouse. Following a takeover by Kitwave, a wholesaler from North Tyneside, brewing ceased here in about 2017, but the company still trades as a drinks distributor and small pubco.

The company has owned or leased the following pubs for a while:

  • Henry Boons (ex Green Dragon), 130 Westgate, Wakefield. The brewery tap, and a former brew-pub.
  • Kings Arms, Heath Common, West Yorkshire. Later owned by Ossett Brewery.
  • Masons Arms, Keighley, West Yorkshire. Leased from Timothy Taylor 1986.
  • Boons End, Ossett, West Yorkshire.
  • White Hart, 380 Wakefield Road, Denby Dale, West Yorkshire.
  • Huntsman, 136 Manchester Road, Thurlstone, South Yorkshire.
  • Boons (ex Woolpack), 6 Queen Street, Horbury, West Yorkshire.
