Also shown as Yardley Brewery. Mrs Mary Ann Mansfield, a widow, ran Pinfold Farm with her family at Mansfield Road / Yardley Road in the latter half of the 19th century. In the 1911 Census, her sons Thomas and William, and daughter Ann Maria were shown as brewers; there is also evidence of a beerhouse on the site. The brewery is shown on Ordnance Survey maps for 1904 and 1913, and in 1904 a 'Malthouse' is also shown opposite, on Yardley Road. Brewery still recorded in 1923.
