Modern housing mapped in 1989 and built on the site of the Cubley Brook Brewery. The brewery was founded in 1848 by Joseph Brook and supplied the local pubs (Hey 2002, 166). In 1923 the site was converted to vinegar brewing and became home to a successful international company. The factory closed in 1973 and the buildings were used as a store by Pogmoor Plant Hire. The buildings were demolished in 1979. (Nicholson 2001) The sluice is the only structural remains of the former brewing site giving fragmentary legibility of the brewery site. Prior to construction of the brewery the land was probably an open space, part of the town common.
