Mistley Maltings, Pair Of Maltings At National Grid Reference Tm10853179

A pair of maltings dating from the early 19th century, likely built between 1806 and 1828. The buildings are constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with the east-facing walls built of gault brick. The roofs are slate, although the south range has been re-covered with asbestos tiles.

The two maltings are rectangular, adjacent to one another, nearly touching at the west end, and are slightly dissimilar in length, with the north maltings being the longer of the two. They are two storeys high with an attic, featuring small, segmental brick arched window openings with grilles. Ground and first-floor doorways have plank doors. There are attic windows in the gable ends. A tall, narrow grain silo, clad in corrugated iron, is situated between the two ranges at the east end.

The interior features closely-spaced wooden lateral beams supported by slim iron posts with metal pads. The roof structure consists of tie-beam and queen-strut trusses, with the tie beams resting on wooden posts. According to Kelly's Directory from 1906, Mistley had very extensive malting establishments.
