They say "Empty vessels make the most sound", but that's not always a bad thing.
I made this!
This is the beer barrel that would not die.
(Filmed in Britain's oldest brewery, making beer since 1550, now ghosts and soon luxury flats)
Cheers.

I did wonder if there was something inside, yes.

Yes, I sit corrected. I must have been thinking of that song.

A keg is a pressurised vessel and a barrel is both a term of volume (36gallons) and also a name for a cask of that size.

So glad this local employer is finally disappearing and we are getting more luxury flats - it's a nightmare for buy to let landlords to find anything suitable these days...

Welllll, there's a story....
because the developers (Chinese state-owned) have failed to fulfill the Cultural Legacy side of the deal - which is why I was there filming/archiving the place before it got demolished - Wandsworth Council's man in the planning dept., who thinks there's more to life than luxury flats, has withdrawn the re-development deal for the whole project, thereby swizzing the developers out of £600m. He's a hero, though it's a shame for anyone looking forward to a grandstand view of the junction of the South Circular and Garrett Lane, and the lovely new TK Maxx.
