Walkers of Warrington

Walkers of Warrington was a brewery business based in Warrington.

History

The company was established by Peter Walker in 1846, when he acquired Pemberton's Brewery in Warrington and, having admitted his son Andrew to the business, started trading as Peter Walker & Son.[1] The business evolved to become Walkers of Warrington in 1864.[2] It merged with Cains Brewery to form Walker Cains in 1921, and then with Joshua Tetley & Son to form Tetley Walker in 1960.[3]
