| The Old Brewery, Chapmangate |
|
|
Chapmangate has had breweries since early times. The O.S. maps of Chapmangate show the site of two breweries with the one illustrated below called 'The Old Brewery'. When Youngs brewery closed in 1911, it is believed that Cattle moved their brewing site away from the old brewery site, to the Waterloo brewery site. Cattle Brewery ceased operation just after the first war. See Waterloo Brewery page.
