T Hoskins Ltd, Beaumanor Brewery, 131 Beaumanor Road, Leicester, Leicestershire

Founded 1877 by Jabez Penn and acquired by Thomas Hoskins in 1906. Registered in June 1947.

For many years the brewery operated with just one tied house, the Red Lion in Market Bosworth; although there was an off-licence at Beaumanor Road. The pub at the brewery, the 'Tom Hoskins' opened only in 1983.

Acquired by Barrie and Robert Hoar July 1983 and by Hoskins Ltd November 1985.

Brewery closed 2001, but the 'Tom Hoskins' pub is still trading with the former brewery buildings standing at the rear.
