Brewery established by William Simmons during the 1830s. In 1852 Simmons went into partnership with Henry Simmons, and in 1855 were joined by William Martin. The brewery was acquired by Style and Winch in 1905 and closed soon after.The surviving buildings include the brewery, maltings and distribution sheds and date to the late 19th century. Construction is of Flemish bond brick on ragstone foundations, with parts having decorative polychrome brickwork. The roofs to the maltings and brewery are of slate; the distribution sheds are of peg-tile. The maltings and brewery are aligned southeast-northwest and formed the main core of the brewery, and is of two-storeys with storage bins in the attics and a barrel cellar in the basement. A wing of two storey distribution sheds project at right angles to rear of the right end. The southeast end, now demolished, probably housed the loading sheds. The brewery buildings have been converted to housing and are now known as Caxton Place.
