Former Maltings, Langthorpe, North Yorkshire

This building was originally the maltings and kiln of Warwick's Anchor Brewery. It was built in c1850. The malting process in this building involved the spreading out of the wetted barley on one floor of the main range. The barley was turned and ventilated for a few days before being gently dried in the kiln. The malted barley was then transferred to the brewery. The malting is probably the oldest surviving building of its type in the county.
