Worthington & Co Ltd, 137 High Street, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire

Brewery founded c.1761 (William Worthington arrived in Burton as a cooper in 1744).

Registered January 1889. Merged with Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton Ltd. 1927 but continued to operate as a separate concern until brewing ceased in 1967.

Brewery and its maltings demolished in late 1960s, the former to provide a car park, later a shopping precinct.

The latter, by the middle of the 1970s, became a new public library.
