Romford Now & Then | The Brewery | Copper brewing tun

A-Z Index

A copper brewing tun from the former Romford Brewery, standing outside The Brewery development on the corner of High Street and Waterloo Road, May 2001.

It was unveiled on 26 April 2001 by Havering Council leader Cllr Ray Harris, at a ceremony attended by Romford MP Eileen Gordon, as well a number of other officers and councillors from other London Boroughs.¹ A plaque in front of the tun reads:

This original copper brewing tun was part of the former
Romford Brewery which ceased production in February 1993.
It was donated by the London Borough of Havering to
Romford Developments Ltd, a joint venture between
Stannifer and J Sainsubry Developments Ltd.
The tun was unveiled in the Spring of 2001
to mark the opening of the new Brewery Development
which was designed by Architects Chetwood Associates.

To the right of the tun you can see the chimney that was retained from the former brewery.
