This is the western half of the Grade II Listed former maltings, built around 1876. The building is in a dilapidated and parlous state, having markedly deteriorated further from the state it was in when Robert Edwards photographed it for Geograph in May 2007 Image This western half was used for the production of crystal malt and the eastern half Image] for pale malt, and no other maltings showing the double use of crystal and pale malt so distinctively are known to survive. This was photographed at dusk from the adjacent railway station footbridge.
