Maltings. 1900 by William Bradford, architect and engineer,
with later extension to right.
MATERIALS: Devon limestone rubble with red brick stepped eaves
bands and rusticated dressings, slate damp-proof course,
blocks, crested slate roofs of varying heights including two
sections to left of centre with hipped roofs to malt kilns and
three gabled timber elevator towers to the ridge.
PLAN: two long rectangular ranges with a 3-window range block
to the left and a single-storey curved range to the far left
with blocked windows, a C20 garage door and a corrugated-iron
roof.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. Left-hand block has no eaves band, quoins
and window jambs are of rubblestone; ground-floor left-hand
window, now blocked, has a rubblestone arch, other windows and
a full-height gabled loading-bay have brick arches with
keystones.
Segmental arches without keystones to the central block, wide
windows of 4 square panes to the top over 2 panes though most
are now plate-glass, all with stop-chamfered arrises to the
frames.
Block to the inside left has 6 windows; the two hipped-roofed
malt kiln blocks each have 3 windows; the central block has 11
windows to the first floor and 2 loading-bays; the slightly
later block to the right has keystones to the segmental
arches, no eaves band, 4 altered gabled loading bays and
windows.
Gabled left return has a semicircular arched recess with a
bracket and pulley and C20 windows.
INTERIOR: the working maltings, virtually unaltered, are also
a museum and visitor centre. An exceptionally well-preserved
interior, with original planked floors, 1900 concrete drying
floors, cast-iron columns and steeping tanks, Jacob's ladder
bucket elevator, barley screener, malt cleaner and four kilns
formerly heated by coal delivered directly from the railway
that runs along the rear of the building, gaslight fittings
and some original stairs remain. Other stairs are C20

reconstructions. The later block to the right was formerly for
making cider.
A remarkably complete surviving example of an industrial
maltings.
