The Maltings, Ely

Built in 1868, by the brewer Ebenezer Harlock, its purpose was to malt local barley for brewing ale and many of its historical architectural features can still be seen today. A hundred years later, following a badly scarring fire, The Maltings was sold to East Cambridgeshire District Council for just £100. In 1971 the building was converted into a thriving entertainment complex accommodating weddings, conferences, seminars, banquets, cinema and concerts.
