History to the present day

The earliest reference to the Cross Keys Inn is in 1730. The first certain reference to a brewhouse is in 1818. The Cross Keys Inn and the brewhouse came into the ownership of Henry Fussell in 1857. He was also a baker, and he added a bakery to the complex at this time. The brewery was greatly enlarged in 1903 and 1934.

Brewing ceased when the company was taken over by Bass, Mitchell and Butlers in 1962, after which the site acted as a bottling plant and distribution depot. Both these functions ceased in 1992 when the Brewery Distribution Depot closed and the Cross Keys Inn finally reopened as a traditional Inn in 2002 under private ownership.
