History
There is a long history to brewing at this site. Brewing originally started here in approximately 1850 by Robert Cain & Co. In 1923 they merged with Walker's of Warrington and brewing was switched to the Warrington site and the brewery sold to Higson's Brewery. Higson's themselves were taken over by Boddingtons in 1985 and the brewery was closed in 1990. However a local company, better know for the canning of beer, GB Breweries, brought the brewery for it's modern canning facilities but also quickly restarted brewing cask ales under the current name. In 1991, with an injection of cash necessary, the company became a division of Bryggerigruppen A/S, the Danish brewers most famous for Faxe. The brewery was put up for sale at the start of 2002. The brewery and pubs were taken over by West Midlands based food and drink company Gardener-Shaw for UKP3.4m at the beginning of July 2002.

Footnote - Since the 1974 local government reorganisation there has been much controversy over many county boundaries. The links we provide cover both possibilities; Ceremonial Counties which are the areas for which a Lord-Lieutenant has been appointed; and Historic Counties (and their allied county boroughs) which represent the position before the 1974 re-organisation.
