Langley Maltings
Statutory List grade: Grade II
First listed: 18/03/1974
Period: 1870
Monument type: Maltings
Building at risk : This building is at risk
Statutory list description:
Maltings. 1870. Brick with slate roofs. Comprises two parallel three storey ranges of malting floors with six kilns at east end, facing Western Road. West facade faces Titford Canal. The gables of both ranges are of five bays separated by shallow buttresses with offsets. The windows have segmental heads. Between the two ranges is a four-storey two-bay kiln, with a blocked canal arm to each side of it. The gable now projects above the roof of the southern range, which was replaced by a roof of several shallower pitches following a fire in the 1920s. At the east end the three northern kilns have pyramid roofs of steep pitch. The southern kilns have roofs of shallower pitch. All retain their louvres except for the northern kiln of the southern range, which is disused.
INTERIOR: the malting floors are now concreted and are supported on three rows of iron columns. Formerly Showell’s Maltings, the buildings are a prominent canalside landmark.
Sadly were not the first in - ive been on the roof a few times in the past and its now being systematically stripped. Much of the flashing is being ripped of from the deep channels as in the pic above - not good. Cables are also getting hit quite heavily. Very sad pikeys just have no morals at all
