The tall Victorian building is the site of the Bramley Brewery, owned by the Smith family. Beer was brewed on this site from 1865 by William Smith. In 1901 his son Morton Smith was listed on the census as brewer and jeweller. In 1904 it was bought by Brufords of Cranleigh and in 1917 it was taken over by Cobham United Breweries. Further down, still visible in the photo, was the Foundry also owned by the Smith family. Charles Smith, William's father bought the foundry in 1847.
