    3. Cooper-Brown & Day : 4. Lewis, Ingold & Collard

    5. H. S. Riches/F. Browne : 6. Whalebone

1. : Charing Cross

Noah Gooch, brewer, is first listed in 1839 at the
aptly-named Malt & Hop Tavern. The brewery
persisted until at least 1859.
It appeared in the 1851 lists with its more "official"
title of the Charing Cross Brewery.

However, Gooch is listed in 1830, at Gooch's Yard,
as a shopkeeper.

 

2. : George Dady

George was listed as a brewer in Castle Meadow in 1805.
This brewery appears to have functioned until 1807
at least, at the Imperial Arms - later described as being
in Upper King Street.

George went on to become landlord of the
Walnut Tree Shades by 1830.

3. : Cooper-Brown & Day

    (Eaton)
It is probably a complete co-incidence that a
W. Cooper was a wine merchant in Eaton in 1783.
But by 1879 Richard Marston (vide Marston Lane)
was running Eaton Brewery.
By 1883 Marston was followed by Arthur J. Day.

By 1890 the brewery was held by Cooper-Brown & Co.
(still using '& Day' sometimes).
Shortly after 1894 they took over a unique
(for Norwich) pub outlet, in the case of
the St. Giles' Gate Stores;
which they relinquished around 1929.

  Meanwhile, in Eaton itself, they are recorded as
running a "tap" in 1890; and an off-licence in 1909.

However, by 1914, their business address was
recorded as in East Dereham, at the "Crown" brewery;
although the Eaton brewery was still listed in
Church Street.

The firm was finally taken over by
Steward & Patteson (Norwich) in 1923.

4. : Lewis, Ingold & Collard

(Rosary Road)

This firm was listed as brewers as (surprisingly)
late as 1896.
It is just possible that they took over from
Coleman & Co. for a short period.

Only one pub seems to have been tied to their brewery,
namely the Lily Tavern in Ber Street.
Unfortunately the date of the tie is unknown.
The tie was broken by 1914.

 

5. : H. S. Riches/Frederick Browne

(Southgate) Fred Browne's tied houses were :-

6. : Whalebone

    (New Catton)
Richard Sexton was initially a carpenter.
Along with Robert Lincoln he built the brewery,
malthouse, stables and pub premises
between 1817 and 1820.
His son Edward was also a maltster and brewer,
and was in charge by 1850 and remained until October 1874. 		  After 1874 the pub alone continued
under tie to Bullards.
For many subsequent years the brewery was
used as a motor repair garage under Arthurton's.

County Brewers

Owning Norwich Pubs

7. : Geldeston Brewery

Dowson

In 1845, Geldeston held the Albion Hotel, Market Place
and the Wheatsheaf, St. Stephen's Street.

The 1845 Official List shows Dowson; while the
White's Directory of the same year has H. G. Dawson (sic).
He and his successor, Edward Dowson, operated from
a branch depot in Stamp Office Yard, also in St. Stephen's Street.

By 1854 Carter & Co. had taken over the operation.

 

8. : Reepham Brewery

Bircham

Bircham's held the White Lion, Oak Street in 1845.

 

9. : Trunch Brewery

Primrose

The brewery held the Cellar House,
St. George's Street in 1845.
