The Sussex Ginger Ale Factory was built at 67 Pleasant Avenue, Sussex, in 1910 by the Sussex Mineral Springs Company. The company was founded by S. H. White and G. Armstrong after the former discovered mineral waters on Church Avenue in 1895. They used the water to produce a few types of ginger ale, including Sussex Golden Ginger Ale, which has a darker color and stronger flavor than the more common dry ginger ale.
 
In 1911, competition arose in the form of J. Howard Pearn and G. Percy Bolton's P&B bottling company, but in 1929, the two firms merged into Sussex Ginger Ale Ltd. Originally capable of producing 5,000 bottles per day, renovations in 1930 increased the factory's daily capacity to 10,000.
 
Eventually, the factory ceased production and has since been converted into an apartment building. However, Sussex Golden Ginger Ale is still produced and sold by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group (formerly Cadbury Beverages Canada Inc.)
