Description
Springfield Brewery is a tower brewery built in 1873 for William Butler. It features Flemish bond brickwork with blue brick bands and dressings, and has gabled and hipped roofs made of Welsh slate. The building is arranged in an L-plan with a rear right east wing and a large brick stack at the junction of the main and rear wings. The front range consists of four storeys, with bays defined by side and clasping buttresses. There is a weatherboarded sack hoist with a hipped roof. The windows are segmental-arched, with round windows on the upper storeys that have decorative cast-iron glazing bars arranged in a radiating rose-window pattern. Cast-iron brackets support a cantilevered cast-iron water tank. The east wing features round-arched windows set in recessed round-arched full-height bays, and there is a cast-iron lintel above a wide entrance on the front (west) side. The roof has a hipped section with a glazed lantern on top. At the rear, there is a lower two-storey block. The interior includes a cast-iron frame and late 19th-century fermenting rounds and mash tuns.
