Old Wheelton Brewery

The Old Wheelton Brewery was the winner of the CAMRA West Lancashire branch's George Lee Memorial Trophy award for 2002/03.

This was the second time that a local micro-brewery had won the award, with the Leyland Brewery Company having been successful in 1983/84. Unfortunately like its predecessor the Old Wheelton Brewery was also to be a short-lived concern with it being closed down within a couple of years of winning the GLMT award.
