Appraisal
This former malting building forms part of a significant group with the related former mill and malting buildings to site. The unusual form and roof profile are interesting features of this building. Built in the nineteenth century, this group is an interesting reminder of the industrial heritage which was once associated with this part of the city. The imposing scale of the buildings, and the materials utilised in their construction make a positive addition the area.
