Richard Bell ran this brewery in 1790 and 1795. Baillie's directory of 1801 lists this as the property of Matthew Bell Esq. & Co. The address is also given as St. Mary's Street and North Shore. It was called Bell's Brewery in 1811. In 1821 and 1824 it was ran by Bells, Brown & Co, and from 1831 to 1844 by Bells, Dixon & Co. In 1847 the occupiers were Bells, Robson & Co. The brewery closed in 1868 when the company moved to larger premises in Bath Lane.
