Marton Brewery Co, Green Lane

This brewery stood next to the Boars Head on Preston Old Road. The earliest reference may be that in 1882 Hall & Co were at the Springwell Brewery, Great Marton.

It is also worth noting that the Saddle Inn, 286 Whitegate Road, in 1776 had a brewhouse, when run by a Richard Hall and during the period 1852 to 1869, Richard Hill was a maltster in Great Marton.

In 1886 John Thos Bennett was the tenant of the Boars Head, which was owned by the exors of John Lightbound. The next brewer would seem to have been Albert Ashworth.

The Marton Brewery Co. Ltd was registered in July 1905 to buy the business which was then run by Moses Kay. Brewing stopped on 7th December 1910. In February 1913 the brewery and pub were bought by the Burtonwood Brewery Co.(Forshaws) Ltd, but were sold again on 17th August 1921 for £8,500.

The brewery was demolished in 1922 for the entrance to Royal Bank Road.

There was also a malt house on the edge of the Green, which was demolished in 1900, the site now being Oxford Square.

The rebuilt Boars Head is still trading.
