Tolly cobbold brewery

Second visit in Suffolk was the old tolly cobbold brewery..this brewery is one of the oldest family breweries in the country,establishes in 1746 by two brothers in ipswich.specialising in beers they grew to be a successful company,in 1992 the company started doing brewery tours of the complex,but in 2000 Ridleys brewery bought the company and the brewery shut down.plans are afoot to redevelop the site.this was a nice place to visit,although the place had been stripped and the copper vats had been stolen by metal thieves,how they got them out I don't know.i wanted to get some externals,but there was a massive storm as we left so there was not a chance.

Nice old building with some great kit still there.Ace photos.

The stills went years ago. Nicely captured.

Not sure I like the idea of bullshit beer!

I have seen pics of the stills in there,but that looked several years ago.i thought they were vats,they looked very impressive and shame they had gone.still worth the visit for the blue room alone...I thought the bullshit beer bottle was great

Like the dwarfs fire exit

This place looks as epic as the fertiliser place I visited, You might need to hook me up

I love places like this, cheers. Some great shots there but the place looked full of bird sh't..

Very nice crisp shots there

I thought this was demo'ed!
Fantastic set of shots there! The blue room must be an awesome space to walk into!
Great report, cheers for sharing!

Visited about 1992. It was pristine then. Thanks. Jim
