Established in 1847, Gales Brewery (George Gale & Co. Ltd) was an old brewery in Horndean and was known for producing HSB (Horndean Special Bitter) and Gales Bitter.
In late 2005 Fuller's Brewery bought Gales for £92 million and the brewery sadly closed for good in January 2006.
We have had a look through the archive – if you or someone from your family worked at the brewery we would love to hear your memories. You can message us on our Facebook page.
