HISTORY

The Brunswick Inn was designed by Francis Thompson and built for the use of railwaymen and second-class passengers. It was opened in 1842 and is one of, if not the earliest examples of a purpose-built commercial inn in the country. Originally it was called ‘The Brunswick Railway and Commercial Inn’ and remained in the ownership of the railways for 105 years.

After a long period of inactivity, the pub was rescued from the threat of demolition. Great care was taken to keep everything in keeping with the history of the Inn. A brewery has been added. The production of beer was begun on 11 June 1991. Since then, the Brunswick Brewing Company has established itself up and down the country and has collected many awards for its ale. From local festival awards to national recognition.
