'Heavitree Brewery' was incorporated in 1890 but brewing on the site went back long before this. Malting was carried out here in the last century and a three storeyed rectangular malthouse existed supported by cast-iron pillars. Some of the machinery dated from the middle of the c19 including the malt-mill (1870) and the mash tuns (1880). The well supplying the brewery with all washing water was sunk in 1903 and lined with white tiles. It had its original pump with oaken cogwheels but was powered by electricity when the brewery, which is now a bottling depot, closed in 1970.
