Around 1840, Matthew Rivis of Wykeham, converted buildings alongside the West Beck into the East Riding Brewery. In 1857 Rivis sold the brewery to James Kirk of Leeds, and Sherburn Ales became famous throughout Yorkshire and beyond. The brewery closed in 1923 and stood empty for several years. It was subsequently bought and used by Cundalls, farmers, to store corn and breed pigs and then from 1970s to mid-1980s it was head office of Wells Cundalls' estate agents/auctioneers. Currently (2017) occupied by Sherburn Forge, architectural metalworkers.
