Lost Breweries of Sheffield


Recommended Posts

Whitesides in Attercliffe.

 

Was Mappins a Sheffield brewery? They were taken over by Stones in the late 50's. I remember, as a kid, The Plough at Catcliffe being a Mappins pub then changing to Stones They even named the street besides it after the Mappins Brewery.

Hi, My grandfather ( James Harvey ), was head Brewer at the Sheffield Free Brewery in Queens Road. Main brand was Matchless Ales. Other members of the family worked there, and occupied 3 houses in Queens Rd. I think it was taken over, and closed down in about 1950. I proudly own a Matchless Ales beer mat. Kind Regards, Ed Harvey.

Wasn't there 2 breweries located to either side of Bramall Lane, John St / Cherry St ?

 

Up until recently I am sure there was an old building on Cherry St (Lavers) which was the original brewery building, and I was led to believe the other was in the vicinity of John St /Countess Rd block near the Wardonia works
