| Oh, the history...I read about this happening in Sept 2006 and and as no one else has done so, I thought I felt I would write a few words about its passing. Its a shame when any pub closes, but this place is such a landmark and the history goes back over 400 years (1581). Closing on the day it company's chairman, John Young was buried solidly marks an end of an era. I often remember the shire horse carting the barrels around Wandsworth one way system. That sounds like I was born before the war, but they were still doing it in the 80s and I think the 90s too. I pray that an enterprising company or individual buys the whole site (brewery and all) and keeps its original character inside and out. At the very least, the brewery should be a monument/heritage type site. It is the oldest brewing site in the UK and for that reason alone surely should get a heritage organisation to buy it. Now all the beers are brewed in Bedford and in my opinion not quiet as good as they were. Winter Warmer is still a delicious beer, but something is different and lacking in the recent batches.

| Looked well and truly closed!! I hope it opens again and the wood isn't repainted in a horrible yellow or greyish colour for no reason at all!! mitomighty - 28 Nov 2006 18:32 |
| It was open last Friday afternon and the shop was getting rid of its stock. I heard that it would continue as a pub but the staff member I spoke to seemed to be expecting to be laid off at any time. Shame if it closes. Apart from the obvious it's also a good place to pick up a crate or two of their bottled beer. I wonder if the local pubs will have to stop the 4 for £5 takeout offer soon. mitomighty - 3 Oct 2006 17:38 |
| This place was closed on 13 September, presumably in anticipation of the death of the brewery. joegreen - 20 Sep 2006 16:28 |
