History

Extending along the south-eastern side of Shelton Street between Neal Street and Langley Street and between Langley Street and Mercer Street is a splendid row of massive, mostly 19thcentury former brewery buildings, largely designed by E.J. Willson between 1876 and 1882.

The architectural character of the street is shaped by these heroically-scaled industrial buildings which were once linked to their counterparts across the street by high-level iron bridges. These formed the principal part of Combe’s Wood Yard Brewery, established here in 1740. The brewery moved to Mortlake in 1905 after Combe & Company amalgamated with Watney & Reid.
