For over 100 years the Eldridge Pope Brewery has towered above Dorchester, a constant symbol of the town’s economic prosperity and prestige.
Dorchester’s renowned brewery was established in the early nineteenth century by Charles and Sarah Eldridge within The Green Dragon pub and brew house. Their ambitions not only focused on the brewing of beer and ale, but also wine and spirits, following the lifting of restrictions imposed during the Napoleonic war.
In the years that followed, a steady expansion of the business took place, with the strategic acquisition of a network of public houses and hotels stretching the length of the south coast from Weymouth to Portsmouth.
The brewery changed hands at several points in its long history, most notably to the Pope family in 1871 who then took full ownership in 1874. The Popes are responsible for commissioning influential architect W.R. Crickmay to design the impressive red brick building that still stands proud today.
Following the purchase of land from the Duchy of Cornwall, the Popes set about creating a new brewery, one set upon a significantly larger footprint that could also boast direct access to the railway. Expansion of their empire, now over 97 freehold outlets, including several railway taverns and station hotels, to include off licences continued throughout the twentieth century, sensing the growing trend for ‘take home’ trade.
