Cheers!

This huge brewery was in operation from 1936 to 2005, to be finally delocalized to Dublin. Only the marketing department remains in London in an ultra-modern building nearby.

Built by the famous English architect Giles Gilbert Scott, author of -among others- the famous Battersea Power Station, this brewery is organized into massive buildings linked between each others by aerial bridges.

The succession of the buildings follow the production process.

Malt & hop store, brewery, fermentation house, then vathouse and kegging plant and finally bottling plant.

The site even had its own power station, incredibly beautiful site completely untouched.

But also we managed to explore: labs, silos, rooftops, demolition machines, offices, radio room, hair salon... A king-size urban exploration in an incredible place, protected from vandalism...

@ Lia

The old Guiness-Brewery-building on the pics was situated in London, in an industrial area called Royal Park. The production of Guiness has moved to Dublin, to St. James Gate. So you won´t find this building in Dublin.

I had the pleasure of working at Park Royal 12 years ago to install the large mosaic in the new brewhouse and I had the sad task of removing it prior to demolition. The Old Brewhouses were being demolished while I was there and it was a sorry sight.
