Beer.It's A Serious Business.

This bronze sculpture of Barley is in Leeds, at a mixed-use development on the site of the Tetley's Brewery Wharf.
This was the place used to transfer Joshua Tetley's fine Northern Bitter to barges on the Leeds/Liverpool canal(strictly the Aire and Calder Navigation) for transport across the North and ultimately the world.
The Canal Company head offices are a short walk away, as is the still-busy Tetley's Brewery.
Quite a nice little neighbourhood. There are quite a few privately prosperous people living there.
