HISTORICAL NOTE: this maltings was in existence in 1830 when
shown on Turnor's Map (History of Hertford), but not in 1823-4
when Pigot's Directory was published. In 1855 the Nicholls
family opened a brewery on the adjoining site to the east,
behind No.6 West Street (qv). The Maltings was probably
enlarged at this date.
