History
The business that became Cliff Brewery was started in 1723 ( in Kings Quay Street, Harwich) by Thomas Cobbold and is believed to be the second oldest independent brewery in England. It stood above the quays of the River Orwell at Ipswich, since 1746.
Besides the brewery, there was a building nearby called Cliff House which was the home of John and Elizabeth Cobbold before they moved to live at Holywells Park, Ipswich in 1814. [1]
The current building of 1896 is a tower brewery by William Bradford.[2]
Cobbold merged with local rival, Tollemache Breweries in 1957 to form Tolly Cobbold. The brewery ceased operations in 2002, when the Tolly Cobbold company merged with Ridley's brewery.[3]
