In 1858 Conisbrough Court records that the Alma Inn, prior to becoming an Inn, was formerly a shop owned by Mr William Watson. The earliest reference to the Alma Inn existing is in the 1861 census; this records 54-year-old Mr John Halfpenny was the landlord of the Alma Tavern. The Inn was most likely named after the Battle of the Alma which took place in Crimea in 1854, with the Inn only being a Beerhouse at this time. In 1880, brewers Nicholson Brothers purchased the property for £975. Conisbrough is a town within Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, England. It is roughly midway between Doncaster and Rotherham, and is built alongside the River Don.
