Description

The 5.77 acre site comprises the landmark former Bass Brewery, which has been operating more recently as Molson Coors Brewery. The last brew was undertaken on the site in December 2017 and during 2018 the site was decommissioned.

Built 1864-65, a large red brick brewery complex ranged in two and three storeys along the sides of a deep and narrow rectangular yard. The four- storey block to the centre contains the brewhouse. The walls, in the characteristic brewery style of Burton, are articulated by shallow full height arcaded recesses containing the windows which are of the sash or pivot type. The ends of the ranges facing the road are treated as double gables with copings and kneelers. Oculi in the gables and blind giant arcading in a tripartite grouping similar in detail to the side elevations.

At the north end of the yard on the first floor of the side ranges are galleried cast iron water tanks carried on cast iron columns. The eastern range contains one of the last two traditional “Union” lines for natural fermentation in Burton and thus the original internal plan. The New Brewery is virtually the oldest remaining brewery in the town.

The two oldest buildings situated at the north east of the site are listed under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as amended for its special architectural or historic interest.
