Jennings Brewery - Cockermouth, Cumbria UK

Cockermouth is named as it is at the confluence of the River Cocker as it flows into the River Derwent on the edge of the Lake District. Much of the architectural core of the town remains unchanged since the basic medieval layout was filled in the 18th and 19th centuries. The town is prone to flooding, being flooded in 2005 and again much more severely on 19 November 2009.
The Romans created a fort at Derventio, now the adjoining village of Papcastle, to protect the river crossing, which had become located on a major route for troops heading towards Hadrian's Wall.
The main town developed under the Normans, who after occupying the former Roman fort built Cockermouth Castle closer to the river crossing: little remains today of the castle thanks to the efforts of Robert the Bruce. The resultant servicing and market town resultantly developed its distinctive medieval layout, of a broad main street of burgesses' houses, each with a burgage plot stretching to a back lane: the Derwent bank on the north and Back Lane (now South Street), on the south.The layout is still largely preserved to this day, resulting in the British Council for Archaeology in 1965 noting it being worthy of special care in preservation and development.
The town market pre-dates 1221, when the market day was changed from Saturday to Monday. Market charters were granted in 1221 and 1227 by King Henry III, although this does not preclude the much earlier existence of a market in the town. In recent times, the trading farmers market now only occurs seasonally, replaced by weekend continental and craft markets.
In the days when opening hours of public houses were restricted, the fact that the pubs in Cockermouth could open all day on market days made the town a popular destination for drinkers, especially on Bank Holiday Mondays. The Market Bell remains as a reminder of this period (inset into a wall opposite the Allerdale Hotel), while the 1761 and Castle pub (which spans three floors) have been renovated to reveal medieval stonework and 16th and 18th century features.
Much of the centre of the town is of medieval origin substantially rebuilt in Georgian style with Victorian infill. The tree lined Kirkgate offers examples of unspoilt classical late 17th and 18th century terraced housing, cobbled paving and twisty curving lanes which run steeply down to the River Cocker. Most of the buildings are of traditional slate and stone construction with thick walls and green Skiddaw slate roofs.
Many of the facades lining the streets are frontages for historic housing in alleyways and lanes (often maintaining medieval street patterns) to the rear. An example of this may be observed through the alleyway adjacent to the almost time-frozen Market Place hardware merchant (J.B.Banks and Son) where 18th-century dye workers' cottages line one side of the lane and the former works faces them across the narrow cobbled lane. Examples of Georgian residences may be found near the Market Place, St. Helens Street, at the bottom of Castlegate Drive and Kirkgate.
Cockermouth lays claim to be the first town in Britain to have piloted electric lighting. In 1881 six powerful electric lamps were set up to light the town, together with gas oil lamps in the back streets. Service proved intermittent, and there was afterwards a return to gas lighting.
The tree-lined main street boasts a statue of Lord Mayo, formerly an MP for Cockermouth, who became British Viceroy of India and whose subsequent claim to fame was that he was assassinated.
Cockermouth Castle is a sizeable but partly ruined Norman castle, the home of Pamela, The Dowager Lady Egremont. Built at the confluence of the Rivers Cocker and Derwent, the castle has a tilting tower which hangs Pisa-like over Jennings Brewery. The castle, with its preserved dungeons, is only opened to the public once a year during the annual town festival.
Wordsworth House has been restored following extensive damage during the November 2009 floods, and features a working eighteenth century kitchen and children's bedroom with toys and clothes of the times. Harris Park offers riverside walks and views down over the historic town.
Jenning's Brewery offers regular public tours and occasional carriage rides pulled by a shire horse. Other attractions include William Wordsworth's birthplace, and the Lakeland Sheep & Wool Centre which offers daily shows in its theatre.
The coming of the railway and the Victorian holiday, together with the power of Wordsworth's publications, meant that Cockermouth became an early inland tourist centre. The local economy is still reliant today on farming and tourism, with light industrial facilities servicing local needs. Industrialisation and hence work has moved to the west coast around Carlisle and Workington, and servicing the nuclear facilities at Sellafield.

Palmers Brewery People: Maltman Brian Wood
A tribute to one of the unsung heroes of British brewing -- malt deliverer Brian Wood.
Brian has been delivering sacks of malted barley to Palmers Brewery in Bridport, Dorset, for nearly 30 years. By hand, he's loaded and unloaded about 73,000 sacks. That's approximately 3,650 tonnes winched up from the back of his lorry into Palmers' malt loft.
'Brian Wood is a legend in his own lifetime,' says Palmers' head brewer Darren Batten. 'He's a good, honest, nice guy and he comes in and he gives us a brilliant service.'
Over the last three decades Brian has worked for breweries nationwide. Nowadays, from his home in Chelmsford, Essex, he delivers mostly to Palmers, Arkells in Swindon, Felinfoel near Llanelli, Harveys in Lewes, Elgoods in Wisbech, and Fullers in Chiswick.
'I absolutely love them,' says Brian.
'I've always been proud to be involved with the malt; I just enjoy my work.'
Brian is known for taking exceptional care of things. His lorry, for example, a DAF 1900, has done more than 1.5 million miles since he bought it new in 1988. It's specially fitted with an aluminium floor for the superior transport of malt.
Brian, his lorry and the whole process of malt delivery can be seen in this videdo.
One of Palmers' aims is to show what an extraordinary amount of often-unseen love and care goes into the making of quality real ale.
Darren says: 'People don't realise the love and care that goes into brewing a pint of beer and it's one of our greatest pleasures that so many people are sustained by the brewing industry. There are people that we've worked with 20, 30, 40 years, some of them, and it's great that we all appreciate that we are making a product our customers like and that all our suppliers are passionate about as well.'
Taking malt in sacks enhances quality. Darren says: 'We haven't got to blow malt across the brewery or put it up conveyor belts. All those handlings of malt damage the husk and the husk is very important in a traditional brewing mash tun like ours.
'Long may it continue' is Darren's wish -- and Brian's too.
'I don't ever see myself retiring,' says Brian. 'I feel good, I look after myself, I just want to keep on working.'
The other voice you can hear in the video is that of Jonathan Hudston, of Watershed PR, who shot and edited this piece.
Note: not all of the words quoted above are in the piece. People always say more than can be used in a short film!
