The Old Brewery, Caldbeck, Cumbria

This building was originally a water powered corn mill and dates back to 1671. It became a brewery around 1860. Brewing ended during World War I when the building was used for crushing and drying a mineral called barytes which was mined locally and has several commercial uses. The building has since been converted to housing.
