In happier times (1994, at which time it was still in use) the former Wolverhampton & Dudley Brewery's maltings looked like Image Operations closed in early 2006, and much of the roofs and tower structures were subsequently destroyed by fire later about 3 years later, with arson strongly suspected at the time. It's now looking extremely sorry for itself, despite the 1974 Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101279047-langley-maltings-st-pauls-ward & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1279047, and is considered 'At Risk'. There were several burnt-out or vandalised & abandoned cars parked outside the frontage on this day.
