Now partly converted, these maltings fronting Raymond Street were built in 18661 on the site of earlier maltings from 1769. There are two parallel blocks linked by a cross wing. The main block to Raymond Street is warehouse and manufactory, the smaller block is maltings. Constructed with a flint facing to clunch and brick walls with red and gault brick dressings. The building was altered in 1967 and in 1989 when it was partly converted to offices and altered again in 1999 for a youth centre.
