This brewery was built in around 1864, and is typical of many Victorian factories and industrial buildings with its grandiose design. Since 1830, when an Act of Parliament allowed greater freedom for the establishing of beer houses, the consumption of beer flourished. This building has now been converted into factory units.

The Corn Exchange in Doncaster was built in 1870 and combines Victorian classical architecture with a dome reminiscent of that on the Crystal Palace, built 20 years earlier for the Great Exhibition (1851). The Corn Exchange is now used as a market hall.
