James Goding                                         1765-1845
James was born 16 May 1765, the son of James Goding and Susanna Thompson.
James Goding first appears in the London Directories in 1804 along with Thomas Goding as wine and brandy merchants and later also brewers in Knightsbridge, where they continued to operate until 1823. In 1824 the firm of Goding and Broadwood Brewers was established and continued to operate at 50 Broad Street until 1838. A number of beers were produced including fine ale, table ale and table beer, strong and amber beer. On the inside cover of the twenty eight page account book is a appeal that "You are requested not pay the Men for laying down Ale" (a request not to tip the delivery men).
In 1839 the Lion Brewery name transferred to James and Charles Goding, Lion Brewery, Belvedere Road, Lambeth. Brewing was continued at 50 Broad Street by a new firm of Broadwood Mundell and Co from 1840 to 1848. In 1850 Edward Huggins and Co brewers are first listed at 50 Broad Street. This firm continued to operate on the site under different names (Huggins and Co brewers, John Huggins and Co brewers, Huggins and Company Limited) until 1929. Indeed early in the twentieth century the site of the brewery was expanded to include numbers 46-52 Broad Street.
James never married. He took in Elizabeth, the daughter of his brother George, after both George and his wife died. Elizabeth was born with mental problems.
