  SAMUEL WHITBREAD - LoveToKnow Article on SAMUEL WHITBREAD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Whitbread continued to be a constant speaker in parliament, and the principal representative of Liberal criticism, a monument of opposition tactics.
In 1809 he became chairman of the committee for rebuilding Drury Lane theatre, and for some time he was immersed in controversies connected with it, which eventually seem to have unstrung his mind, for he committed suicide on the 6th of July 1815.
The Whitbread influence in Liberal politics continued to be very strong in Bedfordshire in later generations, his son William Henry (from 1818 to 1837) and grandson Samuel (from 1852 to 1895) representing Bedford for many years.

He was a great admirer of the Scots parish school, that unbroken channel between the veriest rudiments and the classes of “the college.” As member of parliament, he was associated with Samuel Whitbread and others belonging to the active group which advocated popular instruction and the monitorial system.
After Whitbread’s death, Brougham became the parliamentary leader of this group, and, in 1816, he secured the appointment of a select committee to enquire into the education of the lower orders of the metropolis.
The administration of educational endowments in general was impeached by the committee’s report of 1818, and by Brougham’s Letter to Samuel Romilly … upon the abuse of charities (1818), a pamphlet which ran through ten editions within a few months.

 About Us > Our History
Historians may point validly to August 1720 and the birth of Samuel Whitbread, his apprenticeship as a brewer in 1736 or indeed the founding of his first brewery six years later.
In 1750 Samuel Whitbread moved his brewing operations to premises in Chiswell Street on the eastern rim of Georgian London, establishing the first purpose-built mass-production brewery in Britain.
The reinvention of Whitbread as the UK's leading leisure business naturally coincided with the end of the brewing and pub-owning tradition which Samuel Whitbread had begun over 250 years earlier.
