Now Earlier from Ken Goatley’s “Wokingham: The Town of My Life”

The Eagle was a retail outlet for the small Eagle brewery. The 1830 Beer Act
gave a Brewery the opportunity to retail its own beer. In 1835 William Lewis
had become the licensee and owner of the brewery. As often at this time the
pub would poor beer straight from the cask into the glass.

In 1854 the pub was acquired by the Hewetts of White Waltham brewery.
Hewetts had steadily bought pubs in Wokingham and owned eight, but when
it got into financial trouble during the depression that followed the Boer war,
it was purchased by the Morland Brewery.

It was later renamed The Bear.
