Former Robert Deuchar Brewery, Sandyford Road

  • Description

    "Robert Deuchar (1831-1904) was a Brewer and Property Speculator who came to Newcastle from Scotland in the 1860s. The Sandyford Stone Brewery probably dates from the mid 18th century, built of local stone from a quarry alongside Sandyford Burn close to Lambert’s Leap. It was largely rebuilt around 1840. It was later converted into a bottling store, offices and a bonded warehouse. A stone door lintel reading ‘Office 1904 Robert Deuchar Ltd’ can be seen above the entrance. After his death the business was continued by his eldest son, Farquhar and descendents, until bought by Newcastle Breweries in 1953. Deuchars IPA is a permanent beer brewed by Edinburgh's Caledonian Brewery. The porch of St Andrew's Church of Scotland can be seen on the right. The Church of Scotland has been represented in the city since Knox's time in 1550 and this building, on the corner of Sandyford Road and Grantham Road dates from 1905."
