All Saints Brewery - November 2011

[Priority 7]

A short and speedy explore with Urbanx, Alex76 and James. The speedy was Urban "Linford Christie" X who upon seeing a bloke sleeping on the 2nd floor bolted past me and down the stairs quicker than a pikie can strip lead.
Fire destroyed the majority of the site in Novemeber last year.

One of largest brewery in Leicestershire at the turn of the last century, All Saints Brewery Company brewing plant was next door to the church and offices in High St. The firm was the result of the merger of Langmore & Bankart and Watts & Sons in the late 1880s both of which could boast a history of close to one hundred years. At its height, All Saints owned more than 80 Pubs throughout the county, however Ind Coope bought up the company in 1928/9.

The earliest recording of this building being used as a brewery is dated as 1795, but there are records of brewing in the area dating back to 1664.

Wow, a well trashed site but always worth a poke around.

I know I have been trying to find a pic of how it used to look prior to the fire but not had much luck. This site was a fair size in its heyday shame to see it like this
