Description
Vince's Gate Maltings is a late 19th-century maltings building. It is a long, two-storey structure with sixteen bays, featuring barred and shuttered openings for the maltings floor and grain loft. The building is constructed of clay lump encased in red brick, with yellow brick patterning, and has a pantile roof. On the east side facing Vince's Road, there are ramped buttresses between the bays. The layout includes a maltings floor with a grain loft above, steeping tanks at the south end, and drying kilns at the north end. The drying kilns have a later raised roof with a ventilator. At the adjoining south end, there is an office building made of yellow brick, which has rusticated brick quoins and a moulded brick eaves cornice, along with three bays of blocked windows featuring stone lintels and a hipped roof. While the maltings floor is still in use, the drying kilns and the grain loft above are not.
