William
Jevens joined the Smallwares Button Factory in
County Louth, Castlebellingham, Ireland in the

Managing Director for many years. He built the
factory up with the help of his wife Phyllis R.I.P.
and his family from the old Brewery building to
what it is today.

business in Castlebellingham, County Louth and

Descriptions
from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland,
1837. "CASTLE-BELLINGHAM, a post-town, in
the parish of GERNONSTOWN, barony of ARDEE, county
of LOUTH, and province of LEINSTER, 6 miles (S.
S. E.) from Dundalk, and 34 (N. by W.) from Dublin
; containing 115 houses and 611 inhabitants. This
town, which is situated on the river Glyde, and
on the mail coach road from Dublin to Belfast,
takes its name from a castle belonging to the
Bellingham family, which was burnt by the forces
of Jas. II. in their retreat before the army of
King William, previously to the battle of the
Boyne."
In
the 1830's in the old Barony of Ardee snuggled
in the townland of Castlebellingham in County
Louth, Lewis describes "an extensive brewery",
in which the celebrated Castle-Bellingham ale
is made, and a large malt-house, both belonging
to J. Woolsey, Esq., giving employment to about
70 persons. See our factory in this old advertisement.
It has been well preserved and looks almost the
same today but with modern technology and comforts
added. Contact us to visit us at this beautiful
setting.
Established
in Castlebellingham in the late thirties, Smallwares
was the first such factory in Ireland. From the
1960's William Jevens built up the business and
today it is a family run company Smallwares Limited.
