Anchor Brewery, Langthorpe

The Anchor Brewery is a historic industrial site in Langthorpe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Warwick's Anchor Brewery was constructed in the mid 19th century, with the maltings of about 1850 being the oldest surviving building, and probably the oldest surviving maltings in the country. The main building was reconstructed in 1856, as a four-storey tower brewery, although part was later reduced to two storeys. A new, larger, maltings was added in 1875. In 1924, Warwick's was purchased by John Smith's Brewery, which closed the site in 1964. The old maltings was converted into a shop and offices, and the main building into a laundry. Each of the brewery buildings was grade II listed in 1987. Some of the brewery buildings were converted into housing in 2007. The old maltings and kiln is built of red-brown brick with a grey slate roof. There is a main range of three storeys and a basement, and three bays, and a two-storey kiln at the southeast end. The kiln has a conical flue. The main building is also built of red-brown brick with a corrugated asbestos roof. There are four storeys and five bays, the rear range reduced to two storeys. The doorways and windows have cambered heads, and in the rear range is a datestone. The newer maltings and kilns are similarly built of red-brown brick and have a grey slate roof. The maltings has three storeys, and fronts of seven and three bays, and at the east end is a pair of slightly taller three-bay kilns. The building contains doorways, and the other openings are either blocked or contain casement windows. The main block has skylights and ridge louvres, and the kilns have pyramidal roofs and flat-topped flues.

Borough Bridge

Borough Bridge is a historic bridge across the River Ure in Boroughbridge, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The bridge lies on what was the Great North Road, spanning the former boundary between the West and North Ridings of Yorkshire, and the parishes of Langthorpe and Boroughbridge. A timber bridge at the location was first recorded in the 12th century, and again in 1322, at the time of the Battle of Boroughbridge. In 1562, the bridge was rebuilt in stone. It was widened between 1782 and 1785 by John Carr of York and John Gott, surveyors for the North and West Ridings, respectively. The southern section of the bridge collapsed in 1945 and had to be entirely reconstructed. The bridge was Grade II listed in 1966. The bridge is built of sandstone, and has three segmental arches. There are two pointed cutwaters on the east side and semicircular cutwaters on the west, carried up as buttresses. Under the arches are five wide ribs. The parapets continue beyond the bridge to the north, and have square terminals.

Battle of Boroughbridge

The Battle of Boroughbridge was fought on 16 March 1322 in England between a group of rebellious barons and the forces of King Edward II, near Boroughbridge, north-west of York. The culmination of a long period of antagonism between the King and Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, his most powerful subject, it resulted in Lancaster's defeat and execution, ending the Despenser War. This allowed Edward to re-establish royal authority and hold on to power for almost five more years. Though not a part of the Wars of Scottish Independence, the battle is significant for its employment of tactics learned in the Scottish wars in a domestic, English conflict. Both the extensive use of foot soldiers rather than cavalry and the heavy impact caused by the longbow represented significant steps in military developments.
