Description and History of Site:-
Erected on the Shugden Head estate, the site comprised the brewery, proprietor's house, brewery outbuilding containing office and stables, and a barn. All are now divided up into several dwellings. Erected about 1891 for Daniel Fielding, farmer and brewer who already ran a brewery business at Bradshaw Row. Joined by his two sons, Eli and Sam Balme Fielding, several tied houses were acquired from 1862 onwards and the new brewery premises were to supply this small estate. After 1945 the business was continued by Sam's three sons assisted by their sister Kathleen who ran the office side. During 1961 negotiations were completed with Samuel Webster and Sons Ltd. who purchased their nineteen tied properties. The brewery buildings remained in the Fielding family ownership until the death, aged eighty eight of Kathleen Fielding during 1986. Soon afterwards the contents and brewery were sold and the buildings converted into apartments.
