Phipps Brewery used to occupy the site now taken by the Carlsberg Brewery in Northampton, 'Probably the Best.....'
This sign was painted high up on the wall of an outbuilding of the old club building in Church Street, Long Buckby. It is much faded but says 'PHIPPS WINES & SPIRITS'
Pickering Phipps founded a brewery in Towcester, Northamptonshire in 1801. Then in 1817 he opened a brewery in Bridge Street, Northampton, near to the River Nene. His two sons, Richard and Thomas, inherited the business, as did a grandson and great grandson, both named Pickering. Since 1973, the site of his brewery in Bridge St. has been occupied by a large Carlsberg brewery. Pickering I became mayor of Northampton in 1821.
