Before

Picture
_With industrialisation came the modernisation of Burley, instanced by changes in the Malt Shovel

After

Picture
_In the 1880s the spanking new Malt Shovel Hotel was built, though the defunct pudding tree was retained. The owners hoped to attract some of the tourist trade which had come to Wharfedale and particularly Ilkley, with the opening of the railway in 1865.
