on a prosperous trade for many years), the whole of the valuable and extensive
Estates and Property of the WISBECH BREWERY, CONSISTING of the commanding Freehold Brewery Premises, situate the Bank of the River Nene, together with 70 Hotels, Inns, & Public houses. Of which 49 or thereabouts, are Freehold, and the rest of Copyhold tenure equal to Freehold, and diverse valuable parcels of FREEHOLD BUILDING and ACCOMMODATION LAND, in and near Wisbech. Twenty of the Hotels and Public-houses are situate in the Town of Wisbech, and the others in the neighbouring Towns and Villages of Wisbech St. Mary's, Guyhern, Murrow. Leverington, Gorefield Green, Newton, Sutton St. Edmond's, Holbeach, Walsoken, West Walton, Walpole, Wiggenball St. German's, Clenchwarton, Elm, Friday Bridge, Outwell, Walton, Sutton St.James, Tidd St. Mary's, Sutton Wash, West Lynn, March, Tholamas Drove, Wimblington, Elmneth, Tidd St. Giles', Manea, Terrington St..Clements, Terrington St.John's and other places in the Counties of Cambridge, Lincoln, and Norfolk, all within a circle of a few miles round the Brewery. The Property affords an admirable opening for an enterprising Capitalist, to continue upon adequate scale, a most lucrative Brewing Business, or add to any business already established in those counties. The Town of Wisbech contains, according to the last census, upwards of 10,000 inhabitants for whose accommodation there is but a limited number licensed Inns and Public-houses, twenty of which form part of this property, while, in consequences of the operation of the statute restricting the Sale of Beer to houses rated to the poor at £15 and upwards in towns of this size, there will not only be no increase, but must shortly be a diminution in the number of beer-shops in Wisbech. Adjoining the Brewery is a capital Family Residence: for the Manager, including Gardens and Pleasure Grounds, with suitable Residences for clerksand others. The Brewery itself is a noble edifice, and together with all the houses, is perfect and substantial repair, the Proprietors having annually expended large sums of money for that purpose. The Town Houses and a large proportion of the Country Houses lie contiguous to the important engineering works now proceeding, and in contemplation,connected with the Nene Improvement Drainage Act.The Property may be viewed by permission of the tenants, and particulars obtained of Richard Tibbitts Esq, oundle.
