GV II
Railway goods shed incorporating granary. Mid C19. Brick with hipped board and sheet roof. Main front of 9 bays: semicircular windows set back under round gauged brick arches, alternate with high-level rectangular windows with glazing bars set in the top of tall recessed panels under camber bricked arches, each with a parapet above. Simple brick eaves cornice. INTERIOR: the waggon entry is intact and the cast-iron columns supporting the upper floor survive throughout. The waggon area flanked by brick arches, has some machinery in situ, and the granary floor, under a queen-post roof, retains a hoist area and grain chute. This is a rare survival of an unusual building type, its interest enhanced by association with the extensive malting industry at Ware in the C19.

Surveyed by the Ordnance Survey Department: 1851-).
