The John Lovibond Brewery. With the condition of the Public houses all needing refurbishment that had been put off by WW2, Ale ceased to be brewed here in 1959, and the company image was changed to that of wine merchants with retail shops, and the brewery was substantially redeveloped to provide wine cellars and warehouses, and wine bottling lines. Acquired by Wine Ways Supermarkets Ltd. in 1968, at which time there were 104 Lovibond's wine shops. Many later became 'Victoria Wine' off-licences. |

The Miller Memorial Hospital
The Miller Hospital -named after Canon John Miller (1814-80),hence the 'memorial' bit of its name- opened in December 1884, built in the grounds of the old Kent Dispensary. It was the first hospital in Great Britain to have circular wards, which supposedly allowed better ventilation, though there were just 25 beds to serve a population of over 510,000.
In 1908 the Hospital was renamed the Miller General Hospital for South East London and over the next few years had a number of extra wings added, continuing to grow until WWII. In 1965 the Hospital was absorbed by Greenwich District Hospital and became its Miller General Wing but, latterly considered too expensive to refurbish, was closed in 1974. Surprise, surprise, more recently the site has been redeveloped for flats.
