Demolition of Amber Ale Brewery, 1901: Longhurst's Amber Ale Brewery was built in 1881 for the Stanford Estate trustees by H. J. Lanchester, next to the Hare and Hounds public house. The brewery was later taken over by the Fry mineral water company and was demolished in 1901 to enable enough space for tram lines to turn from Beaconsfield Road into Viaduct Road. The site of the brewery is now occupied by the Fire Station. The Hare and Hounds was rebuilt in 1905.
