Sambrook’s will take a 20-year lease with Greenland to establish a new headquarters for its brewing operations across 11,000 sq ft at Ram Quarter, relocating from its current brewhouse in Battersea. They will occupy the Grade II listed brewhouse with a tap room serving food and hand-crafted brews, as well as a bottle shop. The site was Youngs Brewery until 2006 and brewing has been taking place on the site since at least 1533. John Hatch, formerly of Young’s, who is currently running a small craft brewery at the rear of the site, hopes to be involved in the new operation.

A slice of Wandsworth Town’s History
On Saturday 1 June, as Part of the Wandsworth Heritage Festival, David Kirk led some 35 people down and around East Hill to the High Street, discussing a variety of sites nearby of ‘entertainment’, the theme of this year’s festival, ‘recreation’ of all sorts, some listed buildings, the Huguenot past and the changing character of the area. The peace of the Huguenot Burial Ground was noted as a contrast to the incessant traffic!
Wandsworth ward boundaries set to change
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is asking local people for their help to draw up a new pattern of council wards for Wandsworth Council.
The consultation to consider re-drawing ward boundaries across the council is the second part of an electoral review taking place across London. It is twenty years since these arrangements were last considered, and there have been many change to local neighbourhoods in that time.
The commission has also announced that following the first part of the review Wandsworth should have 58 councillors in future – two fewer than the current arrangements.
