Yorkshire Brewery, Former - Physical Description 1
The former Yorkshire Brewery is a complex of buildings including the brew tower, cellar building, silos and stables.
The brew tower is six storeys high, of polychromatic brick construction and surmounted by a French Second Empire style slated mansard roof. Walls are of brown brick, with cream brick quoining and window dressings, and cream and red brick string courses. Window openings are semi-circular arched, except for those on the upper level which have segmental arched heads. Some of the original double-hung sashes survive; most of the windows have been infilled. There is a heavy cream brick modillioned entablature, above which is a cream, brown and red brick parapet. The mansard roof rises above the parapet, and has circular ventilators on each elevation. The roof is surmounted by a cast iron balustraded widow's walk and flagpole.
Internally, the upper level within the mansard roof is steel or iron framed with chamfered timber purlins. Above the purlins, the ceiling is lined with beaded boards. A narrow timber stairway ascends through four flights to the roof. The upper floor level coincides with the base of the roof section which is braced with heavy timber sections. Some Robert Boby Ltd (England) grain handling equipment is situated on this level, carried on massive riveted built up I beams, which are original. The lower portions of the tower have been rebuilt internally with steel platforms, stairs and metal grain bins, this work having involved the bricking up of some of the external openings. Five steel platform levels have been installed, below which are two more levels, including ground level, which adjoins the engine room. A Ruston (Lincoln, England) oil fuelled 8 cylinder engine is located here, in derelict condition.Yorkshire Brewery, Former - Integrity
