Kiln Warehouse

The Kiln Warehouse, located on the Great North Road in Newark on Trent, is a former maltings building constructed in 1857, now serving as a warehouse. It was built for John Hole, a brewer, and features mass concrete construction with a rendered exterior and hipped Welsh slate roofs. The building has a plinth, first and second floor bands, and moulded eaves, with modified regular fenestration that includes mainly segment-headed openings.

The structure stands three storeys high and has an 18-window range, with the river front divided into six hipped bays. The fourth bay contains a central door on each floor, with the top door extending into the roof as a gabled dormer, and in front of these doors is a steel hoist gantry. The third bay features two inserted segment-headed three-light casements on the first floor, with a door to the left below. The second bay has doors to the right on both the ground and first floors.

At the rear, there is a recessed centre with six windows and double doors at either end. Above this area is a gabled wooden hoist canopy with three windows to the left and four to the right. The ground floor has eight windows, flanked by doors at either end, with the left door featuring a round head and keystone.

Projecting kilns are located at either end of the building, each with separate hipped roofs and ventilators. The first floors of the kilns are blank, with five windows above and four round-headed windows below. The south end has a kiln on the left with a blank first floor and four windows above and below, although the lower left window is blocked. The north end has similar fenestration.

Inside, the building has wooden floors supported by iron columns and wooden staircases. The kilns contain furnace spaces below and perforated tile floors above. This warehouse is noted as an early example of mass concrete construction.
