Mount Gawne Brewery

Archaeology

Modern brewery.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows a disused brewery at this site. The brewery was centred at the grid reference provided.


The brewery was owned by Edward Gawne, who later acquired Kentraugh, and the family also owned Mount Gawne (now The Mount) which stands just to the north-west of the brewery. Gawne was a lawyer and banker who issued card-money locally.


In the 1850s the brewery was being operated by Connal & Co., but by the late 1860s had gone out of use.


The site has been subject to substantial redevelopment in the latter 20th century as a motor garage, despite which two of the larger buildings had survived, although altered and reused as dwellings.


In 2016 the entire site, including the surviving 19th century structures, were finally cleared and redeveloped for housing.
