Description

The Whitbread Brewery on Chiswell Street was founded by Samuel Whitbread in 1750, as the country’s first purpose built mass-production brewery. Whitbread Brewery was in operation for over 200 years before closing down in 1976, although the building was used as corporate headquarters until 2005. The site is now known as 'The Brewery', and has been converted into a corporate, party and weddings venue.

This image was catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20.
