Description
The Bidwell Brewery building, originally a brewery and now used for warehousing, dates from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of flint with gault brick dressings and features slate roofs. The building stands three to four storeys tall and has an arcade of five recessed bays on the first and second floors, which now have 20th-century windows. Above the left two bays, there is a dentilled pediment. The remaining bays have two additional storeys, with two recessed arches and a hipped roof. The roof also includes two malting louvres. To the north-east, there is a two-storey warehousing extension under a gabled slate roof.
