Historic Sites : Buckham 's Brewery and Cordial Factory
Buckham 's Brewery and Cordial Factory
In the 1870s a brewery complex, including stables, a stone malthouse and a large building for the manufacture of beer and cordials was established on this site. The site was sold by the Buckham family in 1970. Then followed years of debate regarding the historical merit of the brewery ruins. Those with a historic leaning lost when the site was bulldozed in the early hours of a morning in 1976. Development overtook history as you can see from the hotel now in the site. However, public pressure stopped the hotel extending up the hill into the Gardens Reserve as intended.
