Undated

Brewery History Society: Charles J H Emery, Diamond Brewery, 29 Cheap Street, Newbury (formerly Flint's Brewery; bought by Emery June 1897; acquired by South Berkshire Brewery Co. Ltd 1899). Corroborates Closed Pubs' 29 Cheap Street brewery-tap address.

1899

Closed Pubs: this was the brewery tap for the Diamond (formerly Flint's) Brewery; the brewery closed in 1899 but the Tap lived on. Treat 1899 as brewery-closure / tap-continued evidence — not the Tap's own closing year.
