Joseph Clay & Son
Joseph Clay & Son, Lamb & Flag Inn Brewery, 5 Horninglow Street, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire
Established before 1751, when Joseph Clay, a Derby maltster, purchased the inn, brewery and malthouse. By 1790, he had added a second brewery on the opposite side of Horninglow Street, and a cooperage in High Street. In 1801, his son Joseph (1756-1824) bought Leeson's Brewery at 6 Horninglow Street for £700.
Joseph Jnr and his son Henry withdrew from brewing in about 1820. The large house at no.5 was built by the Clay family in 1792.
There are three boundary plates in the pavement at the front of this property with 'R P & Co'. We have no information about this company, but it should be noted that there was a R P Culley & Co who were bottlers of Worthington Pale Ale, and who owned at least 8 pubs which later became Worthington houses.
