A little history
William Sharpe started brewing behind the Duke of York P.H. in Sileby about 1870. In 1920 the Sileby Brewery was taken over by the Derby firm of Strettons, who themselves were acquired by Samuel Allsopp and Sons in 1927. The Sileby Brewery was famed for its stout and its buildings were used until the 1980s by a maltster

Not a great deal left to see as the buildings had started to be converted into flats which had now stopped.
