110 High Street

Here stood the Old Anchor Brewery and Maltings, built in 1798.

Water was pumped from the brickfield pond in Castle Road. Production ceased in 1922 when a body was found floating in the pond.

On the adjacent site stood a large Georgian house (home of the Barnard family) part of which later became an Off-License.
To avoid window tax, some had imitation frames.
