Lancashire Clubs Federation Brewery Ltd, Clough Springs Brewery, Wheatley Lane/ Parker, Barrowford, Lancashire.

John Kenyon acquired Hartley and Bell’s Clough Springs Brewery, with 6 houses in 1888.

Closed after take-over by Massey's Burnley Brewery Ltd in 1928 and became a corn mill.

Reopened as above in 1951 (see Bolton) with capacity of 500bpw but ceased 1960 and the trade was acquired by the Yorkshire Clubs Brewery Ltd.

In June 1960, Gibbs Mew & Co. Ltd of Salisbury bought the brewery to produce keg beer for Northern clubs. This was in partnership with the Walsall & District Clubs Brewery Ltd, but that deal fell through, and the Walsall brewery was sold to Charringtons.

Brewing ceased after another two years.

By 1978 was Hammond’s Malt Vinegar Brewery.
