Does anyone know what this building was? In the mid 1960s I cycled past it every day on the path at the side the of the river colne, which was badly polluted at this point, and worse lower due to the gasworks |

It was one of the old Sedgwick's brewery buildings. The brewery was taken over by Benskin's brewery (across the High St) in 1923. The building to its right (with a Benskin's sign on it) was another old Sedgwick's brewery building. It remained until the Waterfields retail park was built on the site. It was a curious building with a steep ramp running to an upper level. It might originally have been a grain or hop storage building and the ramp used to receive deliveries. |
