Carisbrooke Brewery

- A later 'Carisbrooke Brewery' was built on Trafalgar Road (originally number 55, after house renumbering, number 62) around 1879, this closed in 1905. There was a Public House attached to the Brewery on Trafalgar Road which remained until 1983; after 1976 it was known as the 'Globe and Laurel.’
