"" I have no pain now, mother dear, But, oh, I am so dry! Connect
me to a brewery and leave me there to die.""
Breweries were large and striking buildings whose towering presence
was often reinforced by their occupation of sites in the middle of
towns. They were the flagships of a major industry and generators
of some of the great business fortunes. Designing their breweries
for architectural grandeur as well as for their function, brewers
were well aware of the marketing value of their buildings and used
them as advertisements. What is surprising is that so little
attention has been paid to breweries, in contrast to other great
industrial buildings such as mills and warehouses. Lavishly
illustrated, "British Breweries" covers the whole of their history,
from the country house brewhouses of the eighteenth century to the
great breweries of Georgian and Victorian England, and to
widespread disappearance in the twentieth century.
