Fountainbridge Bewery, Edinburgh - June 2009

Hearing that this place was still (mostly) standing, I went over to Edinburgh for a look - situated right next to the Union Canal in Edinburgh, the brewery brewed McEwan's for Scottish & Newcastle.













My Flickr set, as usual, has more...

Very clinical looking place. Check-out that purple Lift Shaft -groooovy baby!

Thanks for sharing these here Ben -those control panels / schematics are interesting

Cheers - um, I definitely put this in industrial not religious

Perhaps one for the ever Legendary Sir K?

Thoroughly awesome! I love the control panels, and the fact that it doubled as a church
Nice find!

Thanks

Back again for another visit, and thanks to some hints I found the tunnel connecting the west and east sites. First on the west side the decommissioning office:



Then through the tunnels to the east side:













There were crates and crates of Fountain Brewery ties:









And finally back through the tunnels again to the boilerhouse:

If someone is praying that it re-opens and starts producing beer again then perhaps it is in the right board

Nice one I've been almost getting round to doing this one for about a month now. Each time I go to do it something comes up and I give it a miss. Really silly as it's just down the road! Glad to see it's not completely buggered inside yet.
