The Castle Rushen Brewery in Castletown<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the 1860s and 1870s, Messrs Quayle and Usher were brewing at the Castle Rushen Brewery in Castletown, on the Isle of Man.
\nThe partnership was dissolved in 1880, and Thomas Frederick Usher continued to run the business on his own.
\nThe brewery was then operated by Theodore Sherlock and Edward Tucker, trading as T.E.Tucker & Co.
\nAfter Sherlock’s death, Tucker ran the business on his own before he registered the business as the Castletown Brewery Ltd in 1890.
\nImprovements were made to the brewery soon after registration.<\/p>\n
