In 1848 it was bought by Day, Payne and Cox of Westerham, and traded as "Day, Noakes and Sons" from 1852. The Company was incorporated in 1897 as "Noakes and Company Limited".
The company acquired Nevile Reid and Company Limited in 1918 and J Canning and Sons, Royal Brewery, Windsor, in 1921. Brewing operations were transferred to Windsor in 1921. The company was acquired by Courage and Company Limited in 1930.
