This was part of a sale by auction in 1847. The premises auctioned comprised a residence, malting offices, a compact brewery and a public house known as the Brewery Tap, all opposite the wharf in Bishop Street. The sale was due to the bankruptcy of Jordan, White and Aldridge.
Also for auction were -
New Inn, Exhall
George and Dragon, Atherstone
Royal George, Grandborough
Hop Pole, Emscote
Bell, Keresley
Dun Cow, Southam
Barley Mow, Stockton
General Wolfe, Foleshill
Grapes, Radford
The New Inn, Exhall; George and Dragon, Atherstone; Royal George, Grandborough; Bell, Keresley and Barley Mow, Stockton were all in Ratliff's estate when it merged with Phillips & Marriott in 1899, so this entry appears to refer to the Coventry Brewery in Leicester Row.
The Brewery Tap is thought to have closed c1852.
