Business closed in 1910. Bought by Cattle?
|
| Thought & speculation |
It is speculated that Cattle bought the Youngs Waterloo Brewery building a few doors up from the 'Old Brewery' as the Tadcaster Tower Brewery seemed to set up their business in the Waterloo brewery building and not the 'Old Brewery' site. |
| 1921 Ref. Don Parry* |
The Cattle business was acquired by the Tadcaster Tower Brewery Co. in 1921 with 8 tied houses. which were conveyed to Tower Brewery by Ronald Middlebrook Cattle, brewer
and executor to Henry Ward Cattle,deceased.The brewery was described as a
three quarter plant with extensive storage cellars,25 quarter malt kiln,spiit
& bottling stores,stabling and coach house plus a bay windowed dwelling house
fronting the main street, all the area covering 1647 sq.yards. The public houses
were- Royal Oak, George Street, Horse Shoes, Market Street, Cross keys, Market
Street, Oddfellows Arms, Union Street, Buck,Market Place, Crown at Shiptonthorpe,
Black Horse at Seaton Ross, Plough at Allerthorpe and the Fleece at Bishop
Wilton. |
