This large site has been derelict for a couple of decades but now work is underway to bring it back into use. The original plans were for residential use but it seems that it is now to become a retail park. The buildings on the left are mostly part of the former Warwicks and Richardsons brewery https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1277425 The building closest to the camera are a former maltings dating from 1864 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1196413 Such buildings lined the Newark branch of the River Trent but few now remain and this one is the only one remaining in near original condition.
