Northgate Brewery, close to the centre of Devizes, is home to Wadworth & Co Ltd - one of the few regional brewers to have avoided take overs and still be producing the fine beers it has done since Victorian times. The company was founded by Henry Alfred Wadworth in 1875, although the business subsequently passed to his partner John Smith Bartholomew and is now in the fourth generation of ownership by the Bartholomew family. The building dates from 1885 and is a fine example of a tower brewery; it was designed by Henry Wadsworth himself.
