Feature Locations heads ever so slightly into North Yorkshire this week to the last town on the River Wharfe before it joins the River Ouse, Tadcaster.

Moving to Tadcaster

Tadcaster can be traced back to Roman times and has played its part as a strategic settlement in many key battles in the middle ages and beyond. As the years went on Tadcaster’s economy has grown associated with the brewing industry with it only second to Burton-upon-Trent as a significant brewing centre in England. This is due to easy access to a quality local water supply. Three breweries survive to this day – The Tower Brewery, John Smith’s and Samuel Smith’s which are responsible for some of the UK’s favourite beers and employ many people from Tadcaster.
