Four House Green

It was here that Henry VII's great brewing houses for the burgeoning navy were situated. Henry built three with Elizabeth I adding another. They were located adjacent to St Nicholas Street where the adjoining meadow sourced springs of remarkably fresh water. Four House Green vanished when the Town's moat was constructed. However the water used as a fresh supply by older residents until the early 1900s and there remained breweries in St Nicholas Street until living memory.
