Geocache Description:

Mortlake Green

Formerly known as Kings Arms Field, the site was given to the residents of Mortlake by Earl Spencer in 1860 for their use and enjoyment as a recreation ground.

Stag Brewery (or Mortlake Brewery)

In the 1840s Charles James Philips and James Wigan acquired Mortlake Brewery, which had existed since the 15th century.

In 1889 the brewery was acquired by James Watney & Co., which in 1898 became Watney Combe & Reid. Being the last phase of The Boat Race which refers to all the traditional local names, it is still widely referred to as the Mortlake Brewery.

In January 2009, Anheuser-Busch InBev said that the company was proposing to close the Stag Brewery in 2010 as a result of a merger between InBev and Anheuser-Busch. In November 2015, it was announced that the site had been sold for £158m to Reselton – part of Singapore’s City Developments, which also bought the former Teddington Studios. The brewery closed in December 2015 and there are plans to build 850 apartments on the 22-acre location.
