Goding's Brewery was built in 1836, to a design by Francis Edwards. The Goding family, headed by Thomas Goding, were one of the most successful brewing dynasties of the nineteenth century. The site was particularly desirable because there was a waterworks next door, which the Godings bought and incorporated into the brewery in 1853.
