Continue down on the left-hand side and look into Central Walk:-
5 Baker’s Brewery/The Wokingham Brewery
Was in Central Walk Earlier from: Wokingham – A Pictorial History /
J&R Lea
Originally Baker's Brewery, it became known as The Wokingham Brewery
late in the 19th century. By this time, it had acquired at least four public
houses: The Crooked Billet, The Crown, The Hope and Anchor and The
Railway Hotel.
It was sold to Breakspear’s in 1914, but they only wanted its tied properties
and he the Brewery itself closed early in the 1914-18 war.
Continue along Broad Street to:-
6 The Brewery Tap, 13 Broad Street, last mentioned in 1901, now Zizzi
Restaurant
The Brewery Tap was next door to
The Shades and probably interlinked:
they were both used as a direct outlet
for the Wokingham Brewery, behind
these buildings.
At the end of Broad Street:-
