The old Tetley Brewery signage.
The Tetley Brewery was founded by Joshua Tetley in 1822, the Tetley name represents one of Leeds’ oldest manufacturing dynasties. For over 200 years the name Tetley has always had a strong link with the city.

Consequently the brewery site has important social and industrial significance and the brewery and its people have contributed greatly to the rich history of the city.

In 1822, Joshua Tetley leased a brewery in Salem Place, Hunslet for £400. Joshua Tetley and Son was created in 1839 when Joshua made his son, Francis William a partner. Construction of a new brewery began in 1852 and by 1860 Tetley was the largest brewery in the North of England. By 1875, annual beer production had reached 171,500 barrels.

In 1931, the art deco Tetley headquarters building was erected. In 1954 Sheffield’s Gilmour Brewery was acquired, along with 500 tied houses. Tetley’s position as Leeds’ largest brewer was confirmed in April 1960 when it announced a takeover of Leeds’ Melbourne Brewery.

In 1961 Tetley merged with Ind Coope of Burton upon Trent and Ansells of Birmingham to form Allied Breweries, then the world’s largest brewing conglomerate. At its height in the 1960s, the Leeds Brewery employed a thousand people. The brewery became the world’s largest producer of cask ale during the 1980s. In 1998 Tetley was taken over by the Carlsberg Group.

The Leeds Brewery was closed in 2011, and demolished in 2012, with production contracted out by Carlsberg to breweries in Wolverhampton, Tadcaster and Hartlepool. Tetley retains its links to Leeds through sponsorship of its two main rugby teams Leeds Rhinos and Leeds Carnegie, and through The Tetley, which recently opened in November 2013, exhibiting up and coming artists.

Leeds Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice room. Staff are excellent."

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Queens Hotel is in Leeds city centre so it is accessible to everything there. We got the train to Leeds and it is virtually next door. The hotel is art deco style and we loved it. We paid for an upgrade to get a room with a view of the square and the room was great with its own settee and coffee table too. The staff were friendly and helpful too."
