Nuneaton Brewery Company, Bridge Street, Nuneaton, Warwickshire
Established in May 1878.
The brewery commenced operations 17th October 1878. Mr John Knowles, the local miller converted his disused flour mill in Bridge Street into a brewery. Fred Luckett’s History of Brewing in Warwicks suggests that he had previously been grinding malt to supply local home brew pubs. The mill was connected to Trent Valley Station by a horse drawn rail line. This was dismantled in 1872 and was not used to carry beer.
However, the business was in liquidation and sold 6th May 1881. Mr Griff Alkin bought it in November, but then sold it 4 weeks later. It was for sale again 11th May 1882 and bought by Adams Holford trading as Adams & Co. The Adams, Holford & Co partnership was dissolved May 1885.
In 1889 Wrights of Walkern bought the goodwill. The premises were again sold 30th Jan 1890. The list price was £3,300, but it failed to reach that price. The property was withdrawn and subsequently demolished.
