William Worthington was born, the son of a yeoman farmer, in Orton-on-the-Hill, Leicestershire, in 1723. He arrived in Burton as a cooper in 1744, and founded his brewery in about 1761.
Registered January 1889. Merged with Bass, Ratcliff & Gretton Ltd. 1927 but continued to operate as a separate concern until brewing ceased in 1967.
Brewery and its maltings demolished in late 1960s, the former to provide a car park, later a shopping precinct.
The latter, by the middle of the 1970s, became a new public library.
The brewery features in The Noted Breweries of Great Britain and Ireland by Alfred Barnard published 1890.
