Alongside the A51 near a railway bridge. The Lichfield Lore website records that the brewery company was taken over by Samuel Allsopp and Co in 1930. Production at the Lichfield Brewery ceased soon afterwards. In 1931, the Lichfield Aerated Water Co set up at the site, but were taken over by a Derby company, Burrows & Sturgess (who produced soft drinks and who claimed to have produced the first Iron Bru). A new company called the Birmingham Chemical Co was established from this takeover. It appears that the site became known as the Wiltell Works from this company's slogan Quality Will Tell. Wiltell Road https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5691692 is nearby.
