brewery (nowadays called a micro brewery) it address then was 14 Upper St Mary
Street, it is thought that the name North Star comes from HMS North Star on

Brewery before being brought by Cooper’s Brewery becoming a Watney’s Brewery pub
when they brought Cooper’s Brewery. It suffered a severe fire in October 1989
and was boarded up till 1991 when it reopened again this however did last long
