History

Edwin Holden took over the Park Inn on George Street, Woodsetton, in 1915, and the pub is still owned by the Holden family. It was built in 1892. In 2012 work began on a major expansion of the brewery to increase production capacity, with further plans to open up a visitor's centre in the near future. The brewery, which supplies to several local pubs and sells its products in local shops, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2015.
