George Landmann, the architect of the longest run of railway arches in Britain and one of the oldest. Built between 1834 and 1840 and comprising 60 million bricks (laid by hand) it's an impressive Victorian edifice. There is however another debt of gratitude that we owe to Col Landmann, the arches have, in the last ten years or so, hosted an ever growing number of small artisanal breweries, aka craft breweries, that have evolved to comprise the "Bermondsey beer mile" 20 or so establishments that make a fine Saturday afternoon promenade, probably the largest single contiguous collection in the country, cheers George
