EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken around 1820, offers a glimpse into the bustling world of Barclay Perkins Brewery, then located in Southwark, London, and known as The Anchor Brewery. At this time, the brewery had been under the ownership of Barclay Perkins and Company since 1781. By the 1810s, it had become the most productive brewery in the world, producing an impressive 330,000 barrels of beer and ale annually. The scene unfolds before us as a horse-drawn dray makes its way through the cobblestone streets, loaded with barrels filled to the brim with freshly brewed beverages. The drayman, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully navigates the horse, ensuring a smooth journey to the various pubs and taverns that would serve the thirsty populace of London. The Anchor Brewery was a testament to the industrious spirit of the 19th century, with its vast production capabilities and efficient distribution system. The horses and drays played a crucial role in the brewery's success, enabling the timely delivery of its sought-after products. Despite its impressive achievements, tragedy struck in 1832 when the brewery was consumed by flames, marking the end of an era for Barclay Perkins and the beer industry in Southwark. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and innovation that once thrived within the walls of this iconic brewery.
