REDCLIFF BREWERY Redcliff Street
No.107 Redcliff Street, built in 1640, this old building
like many others in the area was lost in the blitz. The brewery entrance would have
been at the rear of the building on Redcliff Back where there was once a pub called
the Brewers’ Arms. In 1775 a pub called the Jolly Brewers was next door at No.106.
