Waterloo / Clubs Brewery
Youngs, Waterloo Brewery in Chapmangate brewed beer until around 1910. Youngs also owned The Waterloo Hotel and they also owned the Ousegate Brewery at Selby. It is possible that the Cattle brewery bought the buildings and equipment after the Youngs closure, and kept brewing on the site. In 1921 The business was acquired by the Tadcaster Tower Brewery Co. and then they traded as York & District Clubs breweries who produced the 'Loco Ales' from 1925. The 1927 O.S. map of Chapmangate shows two breweries, with the site of the one illustrated below that the locals called 'The Clubs Brewery'.
Ale and Porter Brewery advert
The York Herald - Feb 20th 1813
Assumed to be this brewery because it is an Ale & Porter brewery. This advert was before the battle of Waterloo in 1815, after which the brewery was to be later named. (see Waterloo brewery ad below)
