Thomas Greenall originally started in the brewing business in 1762 when
he set up his own premises at Hardshaw near St Helens in Lancashire. He
built up the business and supplied ales to Merseyside, North Wales and the
immediate towns. In 1787, with two partners, he purchased Wilderspool
brewery then owned by Saracen's, together with another brewery in Liverpool.
The latter establishment was closed down in 1814 during a difficult period
for brewers with a reduction in demand for ale during the period of the war
with France.
Upon Thomas's death in 1807, the business was left to his three sons. The
Partnership became Lyon and Greenall and saw a period of expansion. The
Company was involved in many takeovers, particularly since the First World
War, and in recent times this saw the acquisition of Shipstone's of
Nottingham (in 1978) where Greenalls continued to brew, and Davenport's of
Birmingham (in 1986). All this activity saw Greenall Whitley became one of
the biggest brewers outside of 'the big six'. In 1990 the company announced
their intention to close down Wilderspool brewery as they moved out of
brewing and into the leisure side of their business.
