Cheers John Walker. I searched so many old Breweries then remembered the Lion Cages of Dreamland..



This one has great Links from 1914 and renewed since..............

Spot on BeachBum.  It is indeed Cobbs Brewery.  This view would have been from King Street next to the owner's house which was one of my earlier GTPs.


The yellow line shows the area of Cobbs Brewery and the arrow points to the subject of this GTP.


Over to you ...

Cobtree/Aylesford area?  Not really eastern half, but it did have a zoo and is to the east of the Mudway.


Move a long way east Martin.  Probably nearer to being a menagerie rather than a full-blown zoo now I think of it.

A zoo was close by many years ago.

This brewery no longer exists and this view is not on GSV.  Now mainly residential.

Were the premises at some stage a maltster's?  The central building looks like the base of an old oast house, modified to be a general office or store.  The cowl beyond reinforces this, as does the "OFFice" sign.  I'd guess at a date of inter-war, or possibly as late as the 1950s?


You're right on track MartinR  :)
