Dist:0.1km<br/>An insignificant little river that hides behind the streets of Boroughbridge where it joins the Ure. The Tutt was notorious for causing flooding in the town centre when high water levels in the Ure caused it to back up and overflow. This has now been cured thanks to expensive flood defences and a barrier. Photo taken from a bridge, which by tradition was made from a fourth 'Devil's Arrow'. [very likely!]

Dist:0.2km<br/>Almost certainly the oldest pub in Boroughbridge, with parts of the building being medieval. It gets a mention in the 'Good Beer Guide', and has a resident ghost.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The colour black is a very common colour as far as pub names are concerned occurring in at least fifty different names. It has been suggested that some 'black' names came about when the Gin Act of 1736 came into force, causing tavern owners to drape their signs in black velvet or add 'black' to the pub name. Perhaps in view of this colour's association with mourning and other rather dreary states of mind, it is surprising that so many names make use of it.

Dist:0.2km<br/>An attractive canopy and well, given to the town in 1875 by Mrs Lawson of Aldbrough Manor. The original parish church stood just to the right of this structure until 1851.
