King William Brewery, (aka Sussex Street Brewery), St Phillips, Bristol, Gloucestershire
The King William Brewery was founded in about 1856 by Edward Stretton at the back of the William the Fourth Tavern in Folly Lane, Bristol. Richard Jones and Frederick Dowding lease the brewery from Edward Stretton when he retires in 1875, but the partnership is short-lived and is dissolved in 1880. Richard Jones continues at the brewery until his death in 1890, when, following failed attempts to sell the brewery, it closes in 1891.
