Photo above: As can be seen from this map, the Brewery fronted Christow Street with the pub on Brunswick Street (A).
In 1859, Thomas Crane, who had been at the Cape of Good Hope, saw an opportunity to gain a licence in the ever developing area of Humberstone road. He applied and was granted a licence. His beer house needed one person to pull the beer and another to take the money, and was taking £20 per week.
Thomas Crane died in 1866. The licence passed on to one of his executors Samuel Flewitt. Sam himself died three years later, and his widow, Louisa, took over for a year before putting the whole lot up for sale in March 1870. John Flewitt (relation?), then took on the business as owner, victualler, brewer and maltster until 1896. Other licensees during Flewitts time were George Person 1882, Charles Arthur Woodford, 1886 Johnson. Gibbins, 1887, then later that year, John Sharp. 1888, Fredrck Crane. 1889, Thomas King; 1889. Oliver Wilson, 1890.
The brewery was up for sale in the occupation of H. H. Parry, the forerunner to Ruddles brewery, also with connections with LB&M. In 1896, John Flewitt seemed to return again as licensee a few times in between other licensees during his period of ownership prior to his selling, The Steam Brewery was up for sale again and bought by Nottingham Brewery and brewing on the site ceased, but bottling continued.
