Abstract: |
Clockhouse buildings is a surviving vestige of the Christie's Brewery complex, which once dominated the town of Hoddesdon. The assessment buildings were among the last erected, in 1896, before the company went into decline in the early 20th century. They relate to the final stages of the brewing process, at the point of bottling, decanting into barrels, storage and despatch. The main central range is a typical late Victorian industrial building, constructed on a lower floor of jack-arches, with an adjoining raised platform to allow barrels to be loaded directly onto wagons. This was heightened and roofed over for a new use after the end of the brewery business in 1929. A northern range also formed part of the brewery process, but suffered extensive later alteration and enlargement, making accurate interpretation difficult. No machinery relating to brewing survives, and the whole assemblage has clearly been repeatedly modernised and altered. |
