The New Truman Brewery in 1970
The New London Brewery
next are preparations at Wilkes Street & Grey Eagle Street site, the Hanbury Street site
The beginning of the year marked not only the the start of a decade, but also,
for Trumans the start of reconstruction of the London Brewery; for on January
5th, work began.
Since this time, it has been remarked in the brewery that it looked as though it
was taking place what had been planned; this indeed is so, and the start of
actual constructioon marks only one point in a continuing process.
The following sequence of photographs projects the planning process forward to
show you what the final result will look like, and records the progress up to
the time that this magazine [Eagle] went to press.
The front plan is a map of the area, and will give you an indication of the
relative position of the developmen sites to the existing brewery.
For convenience these sites are markes A, B, C and D. As work has not yet
started on Site B, only the other htree sites are included in this supplement.
The building constructed on Site A is a complete brewery, to include liquor
handling, Malt storage, brewhouse and fermenting sections; that on Site B will
be a cold stire; that on Site C will be a draught beer production plant and
storage area; and that on site D is the main engine room.
