Richard Gale (born in 1802) acquired, in 1847, the Ship & Bell Inn, already renowned for its beer.
By 1853, Richard's son George Alexander was running the premises for him. Like most commercial inns of the that time, the Ship & Bell had its own brewery and within a short time, George Alexander decided that the potential for expansion was considerable.
