Arnold, Perrett & Co Ltd - High Street, Wickwar, Gloucestershire
The Wickwar Brewery was founded in 1820. Registered as Arnold & Co Ltd in June 1886 to acquire Arnold & Co and E & B Trimmer of Gloucester. The name was changed to Arnold, Perrett & Co Ltd in 1887 when H & A Perrett of Wotton-under-Edge was acquired with 325 tied houses. Merged with the Cheltenham Original Brewery Co Ltd in 1924, and brewing ceased. The premises were used as a cider factory until 1969-1970, and the buildings are extant. The modern Wickwar Brewing Company occupies part of the Arnold, Perrett premises.
