History
Camerons started brewing in 1872 and moved to the Lion Brewery in 1893. It ceased to be independent when purchased by Ellerman Lines in 1974. It was further sold to Barclay Brothers in 1983 and Brent Walker in 1989 at which time it was brewing Tolly Cobbold beers. Following the failure of Brent Walker it was purchased by Wolverhampton & Dudley in 1992. Following a failed takeover W & D in 2001 it was sold to Castle Eden in late 2001. Brewing still continues at this site now under the name Castle Eden & Cameron's Brewing Company.

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.
