Black Bridge Distillery

Black Bridge Distillery, named from a bridge which once stood in the village of Wheathampstead in 1897. It is now part of the old gravel pits to west of the village popular with walkers and country cycle enthusiasts. Although the distillery has since moved from Wheathampstead to the Luton Hoo Country Estate a few miles away, we still maintain strong links with the village as the family still live, and are active members of the local community. Black Bridge distillery was officially formed in 2017 by two friends Ash & Luke, with one shared passion, Moonshine.

Our classic dry gin is testament to small batch distilling, using the finest botanicals to create a traditional gin that compliments the classical gins of old. Focusing on traditional juniper notes with a modern burst of citrus, each batch is a unique combination of our ten carefully selected botanicals giving it a contemporary twist.

Luton Town Football club.

Kenilworth Road Stadium.

Luton Town moved to Kenilworth Road in 1905, leaving their previous home at Dunstable Road after their landlord sold the site for housing at short notice. The club’s directors quickly procured a new site, and the club’s first match at the new ground came on 4 September 1905—a 0–0 draw against Plymouth Argyle.

Watford player C. Barnes scored the first ever goal at the stadium, in a reserve match. Originally known as Ivy Road, the new ground brought success with it—in their last season at Dunstable Road, Luton had finished second from bottom, but in the first at Kenilworth Road, Luton finished fourth in the Southern League.
