Pat Aldabella and Robert Barnard write:-

The New Trent Brewery on Crowle Wharf was erected by G. Robinson & Co. in 1878 at a cost of £13,500 including buildings, plant and machinery.

In 1882 there were three partners who had put £7,000 each into the firm.

There was a dispute between the partners and in 1884 the business was sold and an inventory produced. Most of the pubs had been purchased in 1877.

  • The Black Bull, Thorne Levels was owned by Robinson but he permitted the tenant to get beer from elsewhere, Robinson was the original tenant of the Black Bull.
  • The Vermuyden Hotel, Goole was owned by Robinson 's but the tenant claimed that Robinson's had broken the lease, Robinson 's never supplied beer to the hotel.
  • Gunness Wharf Inn, Gunness, near Keadly, was owned by Robinson's but did not supply beer.
  • Three Horse Shoes, Brierley. Acquired 1873.

The turnover of the Company declined from £8,900 in 1879 to £4,054 in 1883. The valuer put this down to the dispute between the partners and the “inferior brewings”, he also commented that because of the inferior brewings most of the houses were used for drinking spirits. The water supply was apparently bad in summer.

The Company was bought by Thomas Dymond in 1884. The Dymond family also owned coal mines. After Thomas's death in 1898 it was run by his executors until 1900 when it was acquired by John Dymond. John Dymond lived at Burntwood Hall, Brierley Common. Joseph Franks was the manager of the brewery from c.1896. James Dymond had been a director of the Barnsley Brewery Co. The New Trent Brewery Co. Ltd. was registered in 1911 to acquire the business carried on by John Dymond. It closed for financial reasons in 1915 and their 36(30?) licensed houses were supplied by the Barnsley Brewery Co. Ltd, who acquired the lease of the New Trent Brewery in 1916 and in 1918 bought the share capital outright.
