The first detailed information about the Brewery comes that same year when it was put up for sale by auction. This was to be at the Swan on 23rd September. The whole, to be sold in a series of lots, included were:-

  • The Crown Brewery…fitted up with a 5-quarter plant embracing all the modern improvements
  • Dwelling, stores, stabling in Shepherd Street
  • Six dwellings adjoining, in London Road
  • The Queen’s Head, Fishmarket and a dwelling
  • The Crown Inn, All Saints, dwellings, stabling
  • The Milkman’s Arms, Mount Pleasant
  • The Bell Inn, Bexhill
  • The King’s Head, Horsebridge

Brewery ceased to function. Breeds seal book entry is dated 26th June 1914; and new leases were granted to tenants in the next six months. The estate had by then been reduced to seven houses:-

  • The Tower Hotel, St Leonards
  • The Broad Oak, Brede
  • The Ship Inn, Rye
  • The Cinque Ports Arms, All Saints Street
  • The Rising Sun, St Leonards
  • The Royal Albert, St Leonards
  • The Royal Sussex Arms, Old London Road

Breeds & Co purchased the freeholds of these seven in 1930
