Fussell's Brewery Building ~ Rode

The former Fussell's Brewery lies at the centre of Rode, between Frome and
Bradford-on-Avon. The brewery appears to have grown up from a small-scale
brewhouse, which is known to have existed behind the Cross Keys Inn by at least
1818. With a reliable 200ft well immediately to the south of building, it expanded greatly in 1903 and 1934, to an extent that it must have served more than the immediate needs of the village. The brewery buildings constructed at that time now dominate the street scene and is complimented by the early 20th century entrance. The brewery closed in 1962 and the building is converted to flats.
