Potter & Cockburn, Shropshire Brewery, Wellington, Shropshire.

Richard Taylor opened The Shropshire Brewery in 1851, trading as Richard Taylor and Sons. Their business ran for more than 20 years until Taylor's death, possibly in early 1877. The brewery was acquired by Robert Anslow, an agent for The Queen (Fire & Life) Assurance Company who described himself as a brewer, but his business soon ran into financial difficulties. In July 1878 John Wackrill joined the company as a partner. After liquidation, was offered for sale on 11 October 1879.

Offered for auction March 1912 but was withdrawn at £20,000.

24 tied houses sold to W.Butler & Co. Ltd. of Wolverhampton in the same year.
