Maltings, now workshop. 1899-1902 by Herbert Couchman. Red brick; Welsh slate roof. Maltings are a long 10-window range of 2 storeys with 3-span roof; kilns at right angles to left; accumulator tower to right. Maltings: Round-headed cast iron windows with radiating glazing bars on ground floor; pivoted windows with cambered heads on first floor. Kilns:Ramp up to square-headed door on right. 2 windows. Corner buttresses. C20 addition in centre. 2-span hipped roof with ridge ventilators. Left return has three windows and 10 buttresses. Tower: Rectangular plan; one recessed panel to front, 2 to sides. Tall round-headed window with round opening above. Parapet with brick coping raised at corners. Right return elevation of maltings has 3 gables. Scattered fenestration. 2 tall round-headed windows to left of C20 sliding doors; another square-headed opening with C20 roller shutter to right, flanked by round-headed windows. Weatherboarded hoist in valley to right of tower has one window in gabled front and 2 to side. Central gable of the maltings has round window. Another hoist on first floor of right gable has gabled canopy on cast iron brackets over segmental headed boarded door, flanked by windows with segmental heads. Platform on cast iron brackets has lattice balustrade. Interior of kilns retains perforated floor. These maltings are notable as an example of the structure built to house box drums which turned the grain as it germinated. Although the equipment has been removed, the pattern of fenestration reflects the former use of the building with many more windows on the northern side, since ventilation as required for the traditional type of malting floor was not necessary.
