The History Of The Old Laundry Tower - This unique apartment forms part of a fascinating conversion of a Grade II Listed building believed to have been built in 1853, originally as a malting building for the Warwick Anchor Brewery and then in 1926 the building was taken over by Alfred Mustill and his brother from Roecliffe to start up a soft drinks company that produced their celebrated ginger beer, dandelion and burdock and iced lemonade drinks that were shipped throughout the British Empire. The building changed hands again in the 1940's when it became a laundry until 1998 when the business closed and the building was converted into 3 apartments.
The above narrative was taken from the wonderful book A History Of Boroughbridge, A Historic Yorkshire Town written by the Boroughbridge Historical Society available at
