Description
In 1858 Matthew Davison, brewer and innkeeper, died and the Collingwood Inn and brewhouse were offered for sale. A newspaper later reported the death of the wife of Thomas Pigg at the inn. In 1862 the property of 'deceased brewer Thomas Pigg' went on sale. Trade directories around 1870 list John Cairns at the Collingwood Brewery, Low Felling.
