The partnership of Charrington and Moss was first recorded at Mile End in 1770. Registered as Charrington & Co. Ltd in July 1897.

The company acquired the Abbey Brewery, Burton-on-Trent and rebuilt it in 1872: see Charrington, Head & Co. Ltd. The Abbey Brewery was sold in 1926 with 86 tied houses.

In 1962 they merged with United Breweries Ltd (formerly Northern Breweries of Great Britain Ltd) to form Charrington United Breweries Ltd. This company merged with Bass, Mitchells & Butlers Ltd 1967 to form Bass Charrington Ltd. The Anchor Brewery closed in January 1975 and the brewery buildings were demolished during 1976, but the offices survive.

There is a superb collection of archival photos of pubs in the Charrington archive that were previously owned by Hoare & Co on this website: https://www.historypin.org/en/hoare-co/
