New heritage map reveals Boroughbridge's rich history
A new heritage map for the Boroughbridge district has been produced to illustrate the history of the Norman town.
Many iconic buildings of the past no longer exist but the map points to where the remnants are, as well as existing buildings.
They include the Manor House, which was the home of the Tancred family in the 1500s, Langthorpe brewery, the railway station, the old mill, the battle cross and the ancient church.
The map was designed by Mike Tasker and produced by Boroughbridge and District Historical Society with support from Boroughbridge Town Council and the tourist information centre, Langthorpe Parish Council and Boroughbridge and District Chamber of Trade.
It compliments the recently published book by the society called Boroughbridge, a Yorkshire Town.
Copies of the map are available from the Boroughbridge tourist information centre and the town's library.
It will soon be available to download here.
