HISTORY OF THE SITE The Ram Quarter is a site of important historical interest, not only as the location of the longest continuous brewing of beer in Britain, but also a site along the Surrey Iron Railway. Young s Ram Brewery The Ram Brewery site dates back to 1581. Young s Brewery is a historic landmark in Wandsworth. The Young s Brewery opened in 1831, and has contributed much to the borough s social and historic fabric. The Ram Brewery site claims to be the oldest British Brewery in continuous brewing of beer. The brewery formally closed on 25 th September 2006, but the heritage of the site remains central to Greenland s proposals. Brewing has remained on site since on a smaller scale. The development proposal includes the provision of a Micro Brewery and Brewery Museum. Surrey Iron Railway: The Surrey Iron Railway was the first public railway in Britain The railway was built from Wandsworth to Croydon by William Jessop. It was opened on 26 th July 1803. It was a horse drawn railway line, and therefore was only a commercial success for a brief period, until the advent of steam trains. The chief goods transported included coal, building materials, lime, manure, corn and seeds. The railway closed in 1846. A plaque for the Surrey Iron Railway is located on Ram Street. The original sleepers from the railway are also built into the wall below the plaque on Ram Street, a site of significance for train enthusiasts.

HISTORY OF THE AREA WANDSWORTH: Wandsworth is a district of South West London within the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is situated 4.6 miles (7.4 km) southwest of Charing Cross. Wandsworth takes its name from the River Wandle, which enters the Thames at Wandsworth. Wandsworth appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Wandesorde and Wendelesorde. This means 'enclosure of (a man named) Waendel', whose name is also lent to the River Wandle. To distinguish it from the London Borough of Wandsworth, and historically from the Wandsworth District of the Metropolis and the Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth, which all covered larger areas, it is also known as Wandsworth Town. The terminus of the Surrey Iron Railway, by Wandsworth Dock, c.1825 HISTORY: It was held partly by William, son of Ansculfy, and partly by St Wandrille's Abbey. Its Domesday assets were 12 hides, with 5½ ploughs and 22 acres (89,000 m 2 ) of meadow. It rendered 9. Since at least the early 16th century, Wandsworth has offered accommodation to consecutive waves of immigration, from Protestant Dutch metalworkers fleeing persecution in the 1590s to recent Eastern European members of the European Union. INDUSTRY: Wandsworth gas works was built in 1834 beside the River Thames near Wandsworth Bridge. The undertaking became the Wandsworth and Putney Gaslight and Coke Company in 1854 and was incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1856. Coal for making coal gas was brought by sea from North East England and unloaded on the Thames beside the gasworks. The firm grew by a series of mergers and takeovers so that by 1936 it served a considerable area of south-west London. The company's name evolved each time it merged with or took over neighbouring gas companies, but from 1936 it was the Wandsworth and District Gas Company. The company was nationalised in 1949 and became part of the South Eastern Gas Board. The gas holder is due to be decommissioned in the coming years. GEOGRAPHY: Church Row, 1-6, Wandsworth Plain, London SW18 Wandsworth Common is set back from the river, at the top of East Hill, and is adjoined by an area known locally as "the Toast Rack" that has some of the most expensive townhouses in London, as well as the restaurant Chez Bruce, formerly Harvey s, where chef Gordon Ramsay learned his trade, and for which co-owner Bruce Poole gained a Michelin star in 1999. The Tonsleys/Old York Road is a residential area of old Wandsworth close to the river and town centre, so called because many of the street names have the word "Tonsley" included. It has a village feel with the Old York Road's cafes and shops at its heart. The area has three notable pubs: the Royal Standard, the East Hill and the Alma.
