Lonely remains of Cape Hill Brewery
Sadly no one had Geographed this site earlier as this is almost all that now remains of the once extensive Cape Hill Brewery built by Mitchells and Butlers in 1898. It was one of the largest cask ale breweries in the country. The Brewery was taken over by the American Coors company in February 2002, who then announced its closure by the end of the year and moved the brewing to Burton-on-Trent. In June 2004 Coors announced the sale of the site and demolition commenced in mid 2005. It would have been possible to have taken a Geograph in the early days of this website before the Brewery was systematically reduced to current forlorn pile of rubble.

Mitchells & Butlers War Memorial and Office block
This used to be the Fire Station for Mitchells & Butlers Brewery. I worked (or at least made up the numbers) for three years in the office block next to this building - the office block no longer exists. Behind me would have been the loading bays for the drays that carried the beer over all of the west Midlands. How things change - and not always for the better.

Cape House, Smethwick
Cape House was the local branch in Smethwick of the Birmingham General Dispensary, a charitable foundation organisation which pre-dates the National Health Service by some considerable margin, and provided health care to the poor of Birmingham for many years (the charity itself closed in 2001). This particular building, which dates from 1907, was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101380114-cape-house-soho-and-victoria-ward#.XRB11IhKhPY & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1380114 in 2000.
