The rear of the former Shipstones Star Brewery in New Basford forms a backdrop to Drayman's Court, a cul-de-sac. By 1922 Shipstones had absorbed both the Beeston Brewery Company and William Hooley Ltd and by 1939, it owned 550 licensed premises; had 30 diesel lorries for long distance deliveries and kept 50 horses for local delivery work. The brewery remained an independent family business until 1978 when it was taken over by Greenall's of Warrington. In 1990, Greenall's announced that they were ending all beer production and changing to become a "purely retailing company". Thus production ceased here in early 1991, although Shipstones branded beers continued to be brewed for some years afterwards at its breweries in Burton upon Trent.
