Leney’s Phoenix Brewery, Dolphin Lane, Dover

The Phoenix Brewery originated about 1740 and was purchased by Alfred Leney in 1859.  Later he was joined in the business by his three sons, Alfred, Hugh and Frank and under their management it grew to be one of the largest such undertakings in Kent, occupying a site comprising some five acres in extent right in the heart of the town.   As it expanded Leney’s acquired the Dover Brewery Company at Buckland and the Gun Brewery in Folkestone. The business thrived but was eventually taken over by Fremlins Brewery of Maidstone in 1926, after which it was relegated to just being a bottling plant.  During World War 2 the Dover premises were severely damaged and ended up being demolished in 1965.
