Abstract: |
The present brewery site lies within an area used by industry from the medieval period onwards. By 1829, an 'Old Brewery' occupied the southeastern part of the area within the site boundary. Doorways 7, 8, 9, 12, 15 and 16 are on parts of a U shaped building range which may retain elements of this pre 1829 'Old Brewery', though Doorways 9 and 12 appear to have been altered more recently. The maltings building, a Grade II listed building of 1889, and adjacent leanto, contain Doorways 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and Doorways 2, 3 and 4 may have been part of the architect's original design. Doorways 1 and 5 are more recent, though are still directly associated with the Grade II listed building. Doorways 10, 11, 6, 13 and 14 are on additional structures of the brewery complex representing various phases of alterations spanning the 20th century. The brewery site also lies within a conservation area. The proposed flood alleviation scheme will directly affect 16 doorways within the brewery complex. Such impacts are likely to be restricted to the construction phase of the works, the longterm impact likely to result in a minor magnitude of impact, which may require mitigation. Any effect on the setting is likely to be seen as positive, because flood alleviation will aid the long term future and preservation of the building. For the 'Old Brewery' the effect of the flood alleviation scheme on heritage significance would result in 'no appreciable impact'. For the 114 heritage assets outside the area of direct impact for which the magnitude of impact would be no change, the impact on heritage significance would be 'no appreciable impact'. There remains the potential for further as yet unknown remains to survive within the areas due to be directly affected by groundworks at the 16 doorways. This could relate to earlier pre Brewery activity at the site, as this area of Cockermouth is known to have been the centre of industry during the medieval period, as it has been since. |
