Established in 1862 when Edwin Finn bought Catherine Green's Sun Brewery. This new brewery also moved to the High Street, where a new breewery was built in 1885. Acquired by Style & Winch in 1921 and was subsequiently closed. The brewery was bought by Kenward & Court to brew a new beer for export. The brewhouse and the maltings were demolished in the mid 1900's, but some of the ancillary buildings still remain.(1)
