Information from www.breweryhistory.com: Home Brewery Co Ltd, Mansfield Road, Daybrook, Notts. Registered in August 1890 to acquire the business formerly owned by John Robinson. Acquired by Scottish & Newcastle Breweries in July 1986 with 447 tied houses. The brewery was closed in 1996. Most of the site has been redeveloped as a supermarket, but the 1930s-1940s office block fronting Mansfield Road is retained. On each side of the tower a large sign 'HOME OF THE BEST'. When the brewery was operating these signs read 'HOME - OF THE BEST - ALES' - all the lettering was neon-illuminated, and each line lit up in sequence. The whole building, and the signs, are listed.
