![]() The earliest records of brewing on this site date back hundreds of years but in recent times its cramped location, and the fact that the local authority expressed an interest in acquiring and developing the land it stood on, prompted the brewery to consider its options, and in 2006 the decision was made to sell up and move to Bedfordshire. The remainder is listed so will be incorporated into a new development. Autumn 2014 has seen demolition of much of the site. Since then, the site lay empty apart from being used for the odd TV/film set location. Youngs was covered in my Derelict London book a few years ago. The building was demolished in 2010 and replaced with flats. Upon advice given by English Heritage the building was not considered to be of National significance as an example of 1930s architecture,due to the fact that the building had been remodelled in the 1980s. The company ceased trading at this property around 2009 having relocated to premises outside London. Back then the property was used as an office and factory by Adhesive Specialties Limited for the manufacture of specialist adhesive tapes. All this served to enhance the character of the building. In 1988, the building was given a make-over by its current owner which included the insertion of Crittal type windows with 1930s style glazing bars and the addition of Art Deco style parapet detailing and glazed ceramic tile string course. Its earliest recorded use was as a Laundry. The office building, situated beside the River Ravensbourne, with a largely single storey factory extending to the rear was constructed in the 1930s. A large 5-storey L-shaped building built in 1911 will be demolished. All but one of the derelict buildings will be restored. Plans have been submitted for nearly 500 homes at the former Siemens factory site. Many of the latter were used for light industrial and art studio purposes until recent years. Across the road a number of larger buildings constructed in the first half of the 20th Century are also derelict. ![]() A range of two and three storey buildings (the white ones) from the 1870-90s are derelict. Several buildings were damaged by bombs in World War II, including the oldest building of 1863-65. After these became obsolete, these Woolwich works in 1968 were closed and 6,000 employees lost their jobs bringing much hardship to the area particularly as the area's main employer the Royal Ordnance Factory closed the previous year In it's final years, the Woolwich factory principally produced telephone exchanges for the General Post Office. The principal works were here on the Woolwich/Charlton borders adjacent to what is now the Thames Barrier, a site covering 35 acres, where cables and light-current electrical apparatus were produced from 1863. Siemens Brothers and Company Limited was an electrical engineering design and manufacturing business. Some units are currently occupied by vehicle workshops and creative studios whilst the area is quite dilapidated awaiting it's fate in the hands of developers. The canal closed and was drained and filled in during the 1970s and Surrey Canal Road replaced the canal in this neck of the woods (See my guided walking tours for more information about the whole canal). On the site of the Excelsior there were Leather Cleaning Works in 1897 and later Plastic Mouldings Works in 1951. Then industrial and workshop spaces were built alongside the canal. Then in 1807 the Grand Surrey Canal cut through these fields. Historic maps dating from 1766 shows that until the early 19th century the site was part of a wider area of undeveloped open fields.

However, he was captured by Vorwick in the process. Although Max retired, he made a return to help investigate the new Red Rifts. Twenty years passed, and he and Gabriella had managed to defend the order from the Horde. Once they had successfully secured all the new rifts, Gabriella propositioned to Max to restore the Order, however she planned to do it 'right this time.' Maximilian followed along. Eventually they discovered it was Cygnus who had been restoring magic to the world, and the three of them devised a plan to restore the fortresses and the rifts.

"The Loco-Motion" in 1974 was Grand Funk's second chart-topping single, followed by Brewer's number-11 hit "Shinin' On". "We're an American Band" became Grand Funk's first number-one hit on Farner's 25th birthday, followed by Brewer's number-19 hit " Walk Like a Man". Its two most successful albums and two number-one hit singles resulted: the Don Brewer-penned " We're an American Band" (from the number two album We're an American Band, released in July 1973) and " The Loco-Motion" (from their 1974 number five album Shinin' On, written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and originally recorded by Little Eva). To refine Grand Funk's sound, the band then secured veteran musician Todd Rundgren as a producer. With the new lineup, Grand Funk released Phoenix, its sixth album of original music, in September 1972. The addition of Frost, however, was a stylistic shift from Grand Funk's original garage-band based rock and roll roots to a more rhythm and blues/pop rock-oriented style. Originally, the band had attempted to attract Peter Frampton, late of Humble Pie however, he was not available due to signing a solo record deal with A&M Records. In 1972 Grand Funk Railroad added Craig Frost on keyboards full-time. Farner, Brewer and Schacher were given the rights to the name Grand Funk Railroad. Knight came out the clear winner with the copyrights and publisher's royalties to every Grand Funk recording made from March 1969 through March 1972, not to mention a large payoff in cash and oil wells. ![]() The legal battle with Knight lasted two years and ended when the band settled out of court. However, at that moment, the band members felt they had no choice but to continue and fight for the rights to their careers and name. In VH1's Behind the Music Grand Funk Railroad episode, Knight stated that the original contract would have run out in about three months, and that the smart decision for the band would have been to just wait out the time. ![]() At one point, Knight repossessed the band's gear before a gig at Madison Square Garden. Knight sued for breach of contract, which resulted in a protracted legal battle. This growing dissatisfaction led Grand Funk Railroad to fire Knight in early 1972. E Pluribus Funk celebrated the Shea Stadium show with an embossed depiction of the stadium on the album cover's reverse.īy late 1971, the band was concerned with Knight's managerial style and fiscal responsibility. Survival and E Pluribus Funk were both released in 1971. Following Closer to Home, The double disc Live Album was also released later in 1970, and was another gold disc recipient. īy 1971, Grand Funk equalled the Beatles' Shea Stadium attendance record, but sold out the venue in just 72 hours whereas the Beatles concert took a few weeks to sell out. The band spent $100,000 on a New York City Times Square billboard to advertise Closer to Home. That album was certified multiplatinum despite a lack of critical approval. In the spring of 1970, Knight launched an intensive advertising campaign to promote the album Closer to Home. The hit single " I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)", from the album Closer to Home, released in June 1970, was considered stylistically representative of Terry Knight and the Pack's recordings. Despite critical pans and little airplay, the group's first six albums (five studio releases and one live album) were quite successful. In February 1970 a second album, Grand Funk (or The Red Album), was awarded gold status. In August 1969 the band released its first album titled On Time, which sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold record in 1970. Patterned after hard-rock power trios such as Cream, the band, with Terry Knight's marketing savvy, developed its own popular style. After a raucous, well-received set on the first day of the festival, Grand Funk was asked back to play at the 1970 Atlanta International Pop Festival II the following year. First achieving recognition at the 1969 Atlanta International Pop Festival, the band was signed by Capitol Records. Knight soon became the band's manager and also named the band as a play on words for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, a well-known rail line in Michigan. ![]() Grand Funk Railroad was formed as a trio in 1969 by Mark Farner (guitar, keyboards, harmonica, vocals) and Don Brewer (drums, vocals) from Terry Knight and the Pack, and Mel Schacher (bass) from Question Mark & the Mysterians.
