I know, but this was over 30 years ago when it was still brewed in Wandsworth !Even Youngs now brewed in Bedford, not London 🙁

And all the tied houses within 3 miles of the brewery were delivered by Drey horses, which got special in their mash. You could also visit them behind the Brewery Tap.I know, but this was over 30 years ago when it was still brewed in Wandsworth !
We visited the brewery as our ' Economics field trip' for A level when I was in 6th form......most of us got absolutely smashed.....And all the tied houses within 3 miles of the brewery were delivered by Drey horses, which got special in their mash. You could also visit them behind the Brewery Tap.
All my old haunts! First time I got drunk was in the Grange. Went to Beulah school and 39th Scouts so Lord Napier was always near by and had my first Saturday job there. My bedroom used to look out into the Fountain HeadAlas the Fountain Head is long gone, a small estate has been there for at least 25 years. The Lord Napier around the corner is another that's long gone and has been lying empty for again around 25 years as is the Grange (Picture attached) further up the road 🙁
😀 👍Lovely memories in a few pubs in the area. But even nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
