Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
The Red Lion Brewery in Brentford was founded in the 18th Century. By 1830 it was owned by Felix Booth who had the name changed to the "Royal Brewery" in consequence of a visit by King William IV and Booth's baronetcy.
The brewery was owned by Carrington and Whitehead in 1850 to 1875; and Gibbon and Croxford to 1880 (or 1890). It was subsequently bought by Montague Ballard and became a limited liability company in 1890. Royal Brewery Brentford Limited, was based at 23 High Street, Brentford, Middlesex.
A controlling interest in the brewery was acquired by Kent brewers Style and Winch Limited in 1922 and they jointly acquired the Dartford Brewery Company Limited in 1924. The company ceased to brew. Style and Winch Limited was acquired by Barclay Perkins and Company Limited in 1929. The brewery went into voluntary liquidation in 1970.
