Above photo, circa 1903, kindly sent by Rory Kehor. This photograph was taken just a few years after the 1898 merger of three long-established London breweries: Watney's Stag Brewery, Pimlico, with Combe, Delafield's Woodyard Brewery, Long Acre, WC2 and Reid's Griffin Brewery, Clerkenwell. After the merger, all production was centred on the Stag Brewery and the combined tied estate, including the Nordernfelt, was reliveried as Watney, Combe, Reid. During WW1, Pom-Pom heavy machine guns manufactured at the nearby Crayford works by Maxim-Nordenfeldt (which, since 1897, had been part of Vickers) were used in an anti-aircraft role, particularly against Zeppelin airships bombing London.
