 THE HISTORY

The Old Brewery Yard at Lower Treluswell traces its origins to the mid-19th century, when it formed part of a rural brewing operation closely tied to local farming activity. The earliest documentary reference dates to 1844, when the site belonged to the Bassett estate and was occupied by the Rowe family. At this time, brewing was undertaken on a modest, farm-based scale, reflecting a period when small rural breweries were a common feature of the Cornish landscape. During the 1870s, the site evolved into a fully commercial enterprise under new ownership, marking a significant expansion in both scale and ambition. A purpose-built malthouse was constructed during this period, today a Grade II listed building, demonstrating the investment made in advancing production. The brewery subsequently passed through several operators, including John Hart and later W.C. Wickett & Co., under whom it became known as the Treluswell Steam Brewery, a name that signalled the adoption of modern brewing technology. By the late Victorian era, the brewery had become a key local employer, with workers living nearby and the complex playing an integral role in the economic and social life of the hamlet. Brewing continued into the early 20th century before finally ceasing in the early 1940s. In the post-war years, the site entered a new industrial chapter. From around 1950, it was repurposed as a coachworks and garage, bringing with it a series of alterations to the original buildings. Over the following decades, the yard accommodated a variety of commercial uses, reflecting its adaptability and continued relevance within the local economy. Today, the surviving malthouse stands as the most prominent reminder of the site’s brewing heritage. Its preserved structure offers a tangible link to the period when Lower Treluswell thrived as a commercial brewing centre, maintaining the distinctive industrial character that continues to define the identity of The Old Brewery Yard.
