HISTORY

There were two breweries in the Newtown area of Gosport; one was in Joseph Street and it was owned in the late 1850's/early 1860's by George Tribe; it was known as the Newtown Brewery. 

​

The second brewery was situated behind the Royal Arms pub (picture) in Stoke Road. This was at one time owned by a Thomas Wills, but by 1862 George Tribe had bought this one as well. It was sold along with six tied public houses to Brickwood and Co's. Brewery, Portsmouth in 1885.​
