Driving past. It looks like the Queen Adelaide has gone. Completely boarded up with a lot of mess outside.
Clearly not reopened like a lot of pubs - is this temporary, anyone know ?
(apologies if this has already been posted). |  | | |  |

Not related to the Adelaide, but Fuller's have announced the closure of the Mawson on the corner of the brewery. The whole row of grade 2 listed buidings that includes the Mawson are to be sold off as the brewery is moving its office staff to a new building elsewhere. The Mawson was a lovely pub, a terrible shame to see it go.
There was some debate on here when Asahi bought out Fullers a while back as to what changes would ensure. Not a great start. |  | | |

Yeah I saw that as well on the Fullers Fans FB page.
Asahi bought the brewing business off Fullers, who’ve now moved to be a pub and hotel chain. So I assume Asahi want the site to expand operations.
Sad day Fullers selling up/out. Hoping Sambrooks can fight off the vultures. | |

Proposing to move brewing to Reading.
Anything of value for development being sold off
Rest of site luxury flats before you can say knife I would imagine. |  |

Back in the day, my mates all drank Watneys or Whitbread with me being the only one to like Fullers. They used to refer to Fuller Smith and Turner as Full o' Sh it and Turnips.
I still like it to this day but may boycott it if the close the brewery. Plenty of good beers around these days. |
The amount of good ale about is incredible. I bought two half glasses at the last Olympia rather than the usual single pint so I could sample two at once.
I've always wanted to try that Watneys you see in a can that has been mentioned on here and you see in old films. |  |

I think you mean the Watney's Party Four or Party Seven. Surely one of the worst beers ever made. Mind you, there were plenty of other duffo beers around then. Thank God for CAMRA ! | | | |

With regards the Queen Adelaide, I was having a drink with Cat recently (short blonde barmaid) and she thought it would be reopening shortly. Apparently they had a staff meeting coming up. This was all a couple of weeks ago, so things may well have changed by now.
Also, just had a look on their IG and they posted a week ago, saying they were getting ready to open their doors again. So ye. No need to panic just yet. |  | | |

Fcuk sake that's bad news. Nice old pub. Hope they're not selling the George & Devonshire further along as well. That's my quiet-drink-on the-way-home choice. Or it used to be when I was on the way home and not constantly at home. Will have a look on that web page. |  | | |

I think the G&D is safe at least for now. It's a lovely little corner of the world along there with the brewery and shop, the Mawson ( until now), that nice little Burlington Lane with its lovely old buildings. Plus the old church where some say Oliver Cromwell is secretly buried. | | | |

A lot of pubs round me boarded up when they closed. I suspect QA just struggling to get back up as it only has a small outside area which is difficult to get in and out of, and would be in the most demand |  | | |

Good news re Sambrook’s: https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2019/07/london-brewer-sambrooks-makes-poetic-m
And this is still going ahead despite Covid. Hoping to open later this year. |  | | |

Good news Colin, cheers. Did not know that rumour about Oliver Cromwell, will look into that.
Is a nice old graveyard, yeah - quite peaceful to wander around - not that I'm a necrophiliac or anything like that! Never seem to have the energy for that sort of thing these days... [Post edited 17 Jul 2020 12:00]

Where did you see this? |
local gossip from people who know people who work there
They are apparently selling of the residential stuff some of the Old Fullers family lived in
Dont quote me as I say its gossip | |

Cheers. I'll be keeping an eye on it. I think my dad would flip his lid if Fullers moved to poxy Reading. | | | |

Boarded up you say - Millwall were the visitors today and we might get Cardiff at home 1st game of the season - sounds prudent to me! |  | | |

I used to live around the corner from their Battersea brewery. Just a brilliant place as it was devoid of any pretentiousness; the tasting bar had car seats as I recall and their tour was simple and honest.
I hope they don’t lose their sense of adventure to make odd brews. I’m still on their mailing list and saw their move to Young’s site in Wandsworth, it’ll be interesting to see how they develop now. | |

It would be sad if fullers shut in Chiswick for sure. But it can happen when you get taken over. Fullers took over gales in Hampshire and closed the brewery. My mate in Hampshire was gutted, as I think many people down there were | | | |
