The Oak Well Brewery was founded by Guy Senior on Pontefract Road, Barnsley, in 1857.
\nThe firm traded as Paul & Guy Senior who were brewers, maltsters, and wine & spirit merchants.<\/p>\n

The Barnsley Brewery Co. Ltd<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Company was registered in 1888 as the Barnsley Brewery Co. Ltd, to acquire Paul & Guy Senior.
\nEarly Victorian advertising for Paul & Guy Senior, shows that the Oak Well was split, presumably changing to one word, Oakwell, when the Company was registered.
\nThe Oakwell Brewery, with 250 public houses, was acquired by John Smith’s Tadcaster Brewery Co. Ltd in 1961.
\nJohn Smith’s was purchased by Courage, Barclay, Simonds & Co. Ltd in 1970. The renamed Company, Courage Ltd, was acquired by the Imperial Tobacco Group Ltd in 1972 resulting in the eventual closure of the Oakwell Brewery in 1976.
\nBetween 1997 and 2013 parts of the site were used by a new brewing venture, also named the Oakwell Brewery.
\nThe new business closed and site was completely demolished at the end of 2013.<\/p>\n
