Who is the best? Children in our Junior Assembly this Shah Jahan Mosque term were treated to a most prestigious talent contest as Form 4T posed the question, “Out of our four Divisional leaders, who is the best?” With Nelson, Scott, Wellington and Clive taking to the stage, a contest of quick fire questions followed as the historic rivals battled it out for superiority! Wellington even pushed the limits with claiming that no other leader present had a pop song named after one of his conquests, whereupon an engaging dance routine to Abba’s ‘Waterloo’ ensued! A fantastic performance by everyone in Form 4T, a great way to start the day! The Globe Our Form 10s enjoyed a fantastic one of the Globe’s leading treat this term, visiting The Globe Shakespearian actors.

Earlier fieldwork between 1988 and 1990 both north and south of the Hogsmill River had revealed several medieval waterfront revetments, and a c 0.55 ha excavation south of Emms Passage between the High Street and the Thames waterfront provided evidence of industrial, commercial and domestic activity, and phases of flooding and reclamation. More recent excavations in late 1998 examined a large area south of the Hogsmill River (Trenches 1 and 2) with limited trial work north of it. After Emms Passage was closed, two further areas were investigated in January 1999 immediately adjacent to Trenches 1 and 2, and a watching brief was undertaken during the basementing for a car park south of the Hogsmill River. The latest excavations from March to June 1999 were restricted to land north of the Hogsmill River and began with two more trial trenches and a small excavation undertaken during demolition.

The Society publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries; the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may be found at <http://www.breweryhistory.com>. The ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the English brewing industry was discussed at the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by English Heritage (EH), the BHS and the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837 -1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006).
