The Regent Brewery stood at the junction of Chapel Street (now the lower part of Durnford Street) and Union Street, just before Stonehouse Bridge. It was erected in 1889 and became part of the Plymouth Breweries Group in 1891. As a large employer in the area, it was inevitable that many of its men served in the Great War and the loss of lives was recorded on a concrete tablet originally located on the wall of the Brewery Tap Public House. In 2002 the tablet was rescued and restored and is now by the side of the East Stonehouse coat of arms on the remaining part of the wall of the old Anchor Brewery building, which was part of the Group. It records the following names:
S. J. Parsons, W. Smith, C. H. Finch, E. Rodd, A. L. Mitchell, H. L. Rundle and V. J. Sherwood appear on the Roll of Honour of the Plymouth Great War Memorial.
