James Stokes started the Albion brewery in 1836. He later renamed it the Stanley, and it was subsquently taken over by John Maxwell Ferguson and Mumme. These are the breweries that preceded the Emu Brewery, a distinctive art-deco building at the foot of Spring Street (the name of which indicates the reason for them being there).
