When I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters in the 1970′s, I was introduced to the Tolly Cobold line of beers. In particular, was a beer that was fantastic with food; the name was “Cobolnut” (forgive my spelling if not correct). I’ve been searching for years to see if it is still available anywhere. Would you please make my Christmas and tell me where I may aquire this astonishing brew. Thank You

Explored it today and compared my photos to ones taken just 4 years and quite frankly it sickens and disgusts me how this building has just been left to ruin because it’s a grade 2 listed building, that doesn’t make sense at all, surely its better to do something with it than nothing and just let it crumble to the ground but then I suppose its the mentality of our council…..

Thank you so much for posting those pictures. During a lovely Sunday stroll along the marina I stumbled across this magnificent building, although I am living here for more than 10 years, and I remember signs advertising a brewery museum when we moved here. I always regretted to not have done the tour and here you posted the pictures. Fantastic! Unfortunately everything is closed down now, it is grade II listed and hence not easy to develop. If I would just have the money… )
I found another link explaining the history in a bit more detail http://www.tollycobbold.co.uk/cliffbrewery.htm

Thanks again for posting!

[...] the site at Grade II status means that at least the building survives even if it is in a somewhat derelict state. LikeBe the first to like this [...]

Hi there, My husband is from the Tollemache Clan and i know for a fact that he would love to visit and have a Tolly beer. We are travelling over to London early April 2011 with our 10 yr old son (we are New Zealanders but are expats living in Singapore). Any chance we can come for a visit? Many thanks Sandy

I was serving with the USAF at RAF Bentwaters in 1976 – 1978. I fell in love with Tolly, I loved the Brown Ale. I have never found a beer as good as a cool pint Tolly Cobbold. I certainly hope they make a come back.

ER & F Turner who built the steam engine was a company run by Edward Rush Turner and his younger brother Frederick. My great grandfather, Leonard Turner, nephew to Edward and Frederick, was works director for the firm which employed 600 men by the outbreak of the Great War. The company is still going strong in Ipswich as part of Christy-Turner.
