History

Formerly Great Earl Street, this stretch was almost entirely rebuilt in the 1800s by Combe & Co. who extended their Wood Yard Brewery to take in both sides of the street. These massive buildings were once occupied by the brewery’s Ice Machine House for cooling the porter, a Boulton & Watt steam engine and the Building Department. After the departure of the brewery in 1905, they became the works of Leppard & Smith, Printers.
