Brewery handed down to son Philip (One of 14 children)

Philip Smyth Primrose is described in 1877 as
Brewer & maltster, and agent for Truman, Hanbury, and Buxton's Stout.
Malthouse at North Walsham.

In October 1899, Mr Oldman Carter of Stoke Ferry was proceeded against in order to abate a nuisance caused by drainage from the Trunch Brewery Works. Having inspected the site on 11th October, Mr. A. G. Ling, Inspector of Nuisances, considered the problem as injurious to health. He considered 14 days to be a reasonable time in which to abate the nuisance. With agreement as to future disposal of the drainage, the Bench accepted payment of £3 4s 6d in costs.


In 1904 W. D. Churchill took over.

Products advertised 1938 as being available in Cask, Bottle or CAN. "Take a carton of cans aboard with you''.
The Trunch brewery was a pioneer in the canned beer market.


 
  Registered as a private company 1939.

Taken over by Morgans 1952.

Brewery demolished.
