Built In 1936 By Alexander Gibb & Partners with Giles Gilbert scott acting as consultsant architect, Argueably the most important British architect of the 20th centuary.
On completion the buildings were considered to be an Unrivaled feat of modernist architecture And were described by contemporarys as "A Cathederal of Industry"
The site consists of 3 Principal Blocks: Malt house, Brew house and storehouse. Each of these blocks are interconnected with an elivated walkway set at 100 feet. There are then a number of additional buildings and more modern additions.
I First came to look at this site in early 2005 Where at the time production was on going. The brewery ceased production in mid 2005 and was visited by WOTS and myself in late 2005, since our first visit we have been back a number of times exploring and documenting virtually the entire site.
A web tour and full selection of pictures will be made availabe at a future date but in the meantime:
