A weathervane sited on the Old Brewery
Store of Shepherd Neame Brewery in Conduit Street, Faversham, Kent, UK.
Shepherd Neame brewery was established by Richard Marsh on its present site in
1698, although documentary evidence suggests there was a brewery here even
earlier in the mid 16th century. Conduit Street records the one-time presence of
an artificial water-course built in 1546. The underground water remains of
critical importance as the brewery draws its supply from its borehole here.
Whatever the precise facts, the brewery is one of the oldest, perhaps the
oldest, in the country still operating on its original site.
