Description
Henry Dunn brewed here from 1859 until 1878. The brewery was at the rear of the dispensary (HER 7694). Around 1840 the dispensary had become a place of entertainment called Saddlers' Wells. Subsequent alterations created a public house and brewery. It lost its licence in 1892, when it was able to produce around 18 gallons at each brewing.
