Overview

History & significance

Kelsterton Brewery is a post-medieval and modern industrial building located in Wales and protected by Cadw as a scheduled monument under reference FL180. The brewery represents the development of commercial drink production during a period of expanding settlement and trade in Wales.

The site sits upon bedrock of the Warwickshire Group, Early Permian deposits composed primarily of siltstone and sandstone with subordinate mudstone. This geology provides a foundation typical of industrial premises in the region, where local stone resources often influenced building practice and landscape development.

The brewery exemplifies the industrial heritage of its locality, documenting the evolution of manufacturing and commercial enterprise in Wales from the post-medieval period through modern times. Its protection reflects the significance of industrial buildings as records of working practices, technology and economic activity that shaped Welsh communities and their relationship with the surrounding landscape.
