This lovely photo was taken by local lady Raegan Blacker.

But despite its idyllic appearance Jennings former brewery complex lies empty and unsold.

It is a complex site as it comprises both freehold and leasehold buildings. There is also a public right of way right through the middle of the site. And add to that - historically some of the buildings have flooded over the years, being at the confluence of the rivers Derwent and Cocker.

The brewery employed a large number of local people in the 180 years that it traded.

They also brewed some cracking real ales.

However, not far from this abandoned premises in Kirkgate, landlord Mark Cockbain is planning to open a new brewery in the near future at the Bitter End pub.
