[edit] History
The brewery is located on the north-west bank of the River Nene, west of Wisbech's town centre. The brewery has operated since the late 1500s. Bought by the Elgood family in the late 1700s, the building on the site was renovated at the time of its purchase in the Georgian style, most of which is still used today.
During the First World War the brewery was "accidentally" fire-bombed by a Zeppelin, and the shell of the bomb can still be viewed in the brewery museum. During the Second World War some of the metal vats and tuns were melted down, but the brewery retained its 1600s Eagle Foundry (Wisbech) Liquor vat.
