Summary
The maltings used to exist on both sides of the railway at this spot. To the west of the railway were two parallel buildings with slate roofs and internal kilns. There were also several semi detached contemporary cottages. These have now been demolished and housing developed on the site. The buildings east of the railway were built either in 1850 or in 1881. This is an H shaped red brick building, now being converted into flats.
