Well, Putting a positive spin on your comment, no-one has stolen the padlock, and it’s been there for over 10 years

The building is still there, but I would surmise that it’s not brewing anything stronger than tea or coffee nowadays.

Fascinating , someone posted a similar description of the Higson’s Brewery in Liverpool recently.
I started my brewing career at Ind Coope in Romford , so we were part of the “London Brewers” albeit a bit east. things like cricket matches , drinking evenings. The industry is understandably quite social. As part of the Brewers Guild , I organized training course for young brewers, one of which was at Trumans.
Alas there seems to be very few “real” breweries left in London, Youngs, Courage , Taylor Walker, Trumans all gone

The Eagle Nebula (M16). At the heart of it you can see the Pilars of Creation which are the subject of the most iconic picture of the Hubble Space Telescope.
The Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745–46. Both the "Eagle" and the "Star Queen" refer to visual impressions of the dark silhouette near the center of the nebula, an area made famous as the "Pillars of Creation" imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula contains several active star-forming gas and dust reg The E...
Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light-years (2,000–2,100 pc; 61–66 Em) from Earth. These elephant trunks had been discovered by John Charles Duncan in 1920 on a plate made with the Mount Wilson Observatory 60-inch telescope.
They are so named because the gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars, while also being eroded by Take...
