The Stanley Arms brewed its own Bitter and Mild in a brewhouse at the rear of the pub until 1923 when the pub was sold and subsequently renamed the Knowsley Hotel, after the area in which the Derby Family lived. It was not until 1973 that the name the Stanley Arms was re-established.

The 'New' Sumners was built in 1985 a few yards behind the old one.
