Romford Brewery began from the Star Inn brewhouse, close to the River Rom, purchased by Edward Ind and John Grosvenor in 1799. The Brewery ceased production in 1999 after nearly 200 years and closed completely in 2001. The Museum is a Heritage Lottery Funded project and an independent organisation run by volunteers and supporters. It is a Registered Charity No. 1093763.
Havering Museum collects and preserves objects which record the remarkable and long history of the London Borough of Havering, making them accessible to a wide audience through exhibitions, events and activities, education programmes, publications, web-pages, Facebook and Twitter. Apart from being the heritage hub of Havering, the Museum has developed a strong community identity, taking a pride in the achievements of local people, providing a huge range of opportunities for engagement in its work through volunteering, research projects and many other activities including a programme of events involving care homes, schools and youth organisations.
