More about this scene
This famous firm was developed from a combination of various Romsey breweries in the latter part of the 19th century, when rail transport made it possible to carry beer over considerable distances. Strong's became one of the main employers in the town for about a hundred years, but the need for modernisation caused brewing to cease in 1981; the operation, by that time part of Whitbread Wessex, was finally closed in 1990. Part of the site has been cleared, but the main buildings, some converted to offices, remain — the heritage of late 19th-century and early 20th-century builders.
