John Rowell moved from the Battery Brewery in 1850 to the Charles XII of Sweden Inn at Bridge End. George Brown, innkeeper, brewed on these premises from 1860. A brewery which could produce 20 half-barrels was built in its yard in the 1850s. In 1879 John Buchanan took over the brewery. It lost its licence in 1888.
