Business: Sacell Brewery Company
Location: Paisley
Type: Brewery
The Sacell Brewery in King Street, which was also known as the Saucel Brewery, was first owned by Adam Pattison. It then passed through the hands of a number of owners: James Harvey and his partners Robert Cowan, Peter Murdoch, James Warroch, James Hopkirk and James Gordon (until 1801); James Chep & Co (1801-1820s); and finally the Sacell Brewery Company (1829s-1900s).
The brewery was described in the 1960s as "a 3-storey, 13-bay block, probably originally maltings, with 2 kilns". The buildings were eventually used as bonded warehouses by the Distillers Company Ltd, and as an office block by Millen Brothers, shipbuilders.
