An old industry in Mere
These buildings were originally the town brewery, established in the 1800s. That business ended in 1900 and the site converted into a milk factory; later owners in the 1950s were Cow and Gate, later Unigate. Dairy production ended in the early 1970s, with a local firm of wine merchants taking over; they have only recently put the site on the market.

A date in the wall
Mere's old brewery buildings were opened in the 1800s, later converting to a milk factory and now potentially becoming a residential development. On the wall is a stone dated 1838.
