The Former Daniell's Brewery

The Daniell family once owned the Castle & West Burgholt Breweries (seen here). In 1866 the businesses merged to form Daniell and Son Breweries. The Castle Brewery in the centre of Colchester closed in 1892. In 1958 London Brewer Truman Hanbury & Buxton bought out Daniell's and its 150 tied houses. The following year Daniell's ceased brewing and the tied estate was rebranded. The maltings (demolished 1989) and brewery were used as a distribution depot. In 1971 Truman was bought out by Grand Metropolitan who then bought Watney Mann and promptly merged the two. Truman ceased brewing in 1989. Britain's oldest name in Brewing "Truman" rose phoenix like from the ashes in 2010 when the brand was bought from Scottish & Newcastle by two entrepreneurs.
