Notes about this historic site

1 This brewery is first mentioned in 1868 in a conveyance where the adjoining land was sold to WB Ryder for £13.
2 In 1901 the same land passed into the hands of Charles Edward Blyth of Stockton for £750.
3 There is a sketch with the latter deed showing the brewhouse to be the building still standing although dilapidated, at the above reference. It is of brick on stone construction and stands in a partly cobbled walled courtyard with evidence of other collapsed buildings. There is behind the brewhouse a field marked on the sketch map “cock pit field” possibly connected with gaming activities at the beerhouse.
