Kimberley brewery site to be auctioned

A former Nottinghamshire brewery site is to be auctioned off, it has been confirmed.

The Kimberley brewery was bought by Suffolk-based Greene King when it took over Hardys and Hansons in 2006.

But the firm has struggled to find a buyer for site, which includes 14 residential properties.

Now it has said the main Victorian brewery and offices will make one lot on 7 December with the houses being sold as two lots a week later.

Greene King said it hoped the sales will help to regenerate the local economy.

Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry said she would talk to the residents to discuss their options.
