Bad Medicine - Ulverston Brewing Company - UK ALE REAL

The old stone buildings that now house the Ulverston Brewing Company are Victorian and date back to 1875 -- it was a purpose built indoor cattle market providing an essential service to farmers for around 85 years, later becoming the home of Cumbria Crystal until 1999. Between then and the beginning of this year it was left to the pigeons of Ulverston to make it their own, remaining unoccupied, derelict and deteriorating until it was rescued by Anita & Paul who see it as the realisation of their dream to bring their award-winning brewery to the heart of their home town.
Four long years of hard work and planning have brought the brewery to where it is now. After Ulverston's last remaining brewery -- Hartleys -- closed, Paul and Anita decided to start brewing in their garage to provide friends with a real ale alternative to the dull beers of the giant breweries. Demand grew and grew and finally they decided to take the plunge into full-time brewing - well it's full time for Anita at the moment, with Paul fitting in the deliveries and everything else when he finishes the day job!!
Anita's former life as a hairdresser had done little to prepare her for the life of a Brewster -- that's a lady brewer to you and me!! So it was back to school for her and Paul to gain the qualifications and knowledge necessary to make this life-changing plan work -- which obviously was a great success, as you can see by the awards and certificates that adorn the brewery walls.
Eventually the plans that had been fermenting (a bit of wordplay there) in their minds started to mature and in 2006 the brand new Ulverston Brewing Company made its home in the old winding machine shed of the Diamond Pit in Lindal. With dreams of putting their home town of Ulverston on the brewing map they took the town crest as their logo and the motto Only the best seemed very appropriate and they adopted the town's most famous son as the inspiration behind the naming of their beers.
The brewery celebrated its official opening on 10:10:10 with a party attended by friends, family, customers and local dignitaries.
The Ulverston Brewing Company continues to go from strength to strength.....

Georgian Lancaster

The original city of Lancaster, England, is a city with many fine Georgian buildings, a beautiful parish church, which should really be a cathedral, and a magnificent castle going back to Roman times.

This video is a sequence taken from the highly acclaimed dvd The Lune Valley Our Heritage filmed and produced by award winning amateur heritage film director Chris Abram. The dvd explores the whole sixty five mile stretch of the historic and very beautiful Lune river valley, in the North West of England, from its beginings in the Howgill Fells down to its entry into the magnificent Morecambe Bay. Filmed from the air as well as on the ground, it tells of the beauty and heritage of the small villages and towns as well as their traditions, customs, hidden places and special events.

Sea Fishing For Cod From The Beach - Cod Quest Part Five

The start of November means it's that time again, time to head back out on the beach in pursuit of Codling and what better place to start than where we finished up last year, Aldeburgh town beach in Suffolk.

Keen to get out and blow away the cobwebs we ventured south to the shingle and re-started our quest, armed with some top quality bait and faced with some reasonable conditions, did we succeed?

You can find out all the information in the latest episode from the waters edge.

As usual we hope you enjoy it and if you find any of the information helpful then even better.
