The brewery is suggested to have developed on this site in the period 1840-1878. Names recorded on the 1841 Tithe Map and apportionment together with entries in Whites directory for 1851 suggest that Henry Grant took over a malting business from John Hooper in the 1840s which subsequently passed to William Heath Prowse, who is listed as a brewer and maltster in Union Road in Harrod's directory for 1878. Prowse and Son continue to be listed as brewers and malters in directories from the 1880s until the late 1930s, owning the South Devon Steam Brewery. The brewery was demolished in the later 20th century.
