Shipstones Brewery

James Shipstone & Sons was a brewery in New Basford, Nottingham, England, that opened in 1852[1] and closed in 1991.

The landmark Victorian building, constructed in 1900 with later extension, remains standing and is presently owned by a local auction house.

In November 2013, a 1921 portrait by Noel Denholm Davis of Sir Thomas Shipstone, of the family who owned the brewery, was auctioned by Biddle and Webb of Birmingham.

It was purchased by a Nottingham art collector, Ash Gangotra, who offered it on long-term loan to a planned Shipstone's heritage centre.

The proprietors obtained the rights to and have revived the Shipstones brand, offering a small range of products.
