History

At the gateway to Durnford Street stands the Regent Brewers Building, a striking Grade II listed property steeped in Plymouth’s brewing heritage. Built in the 1800s, it became home to Samuel Vosper’s Regent Brewers plc around 1860, later joining Plymouth Breweries once a regional powerhouse supplying over 150 pubs across Devon and Cornwall.

Brewing continued on site until 1983, with the building later serving as wine and spirit merchants before falling dormant in the late 1990s. Designated Grade II listed in 1975, its architectural and historical significance remain protected.

Today, this iconic building is poised for a new chapter offering a rare opportunity to create modern spaces within a piece of Plymouth’s rich history.
