Foxs Malthouse

Fox's Malthouse is a malthouse located on the south side of Alexandra Warehouse, built in 1888 by architect JP Moore of Gloucester for SH Fox, a corn merchant. The company was incorporated in 1889 as Fox Clinch and Company, corn merchants and millers, and originally operated alongside Alexandra Warehouse. The building is constructed of red brick with slate roofs and features timber barge and eaves boards.

It consists of a rectangular store with end gables, and on the east side, there is a rectangular block containing the kilns, which are covered by two steeply pitched and parallel hipped roofs. The exterior of the store has four storeys and a loft, with a hoist door opening in the center of each gable-end wall, flanked by a window on each floor. All these openings have brick cambered arched heads. The west side is divided into five bays, featuring four projecting brick pilasters, with three windows on each floor in the center bays, two windows and two doors at the ground floor, and an additional window on the first floor to the right. The south wall mirrors the north wall but includes a fire escape. Various random windows are present on the north and south kiln walls.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is believed that the kiln block contains four kilns with wire drying floors. The machinery was powered by an engine house that once adjoined Alexandra Warehouse, which has since been demolished. Original drawings of the malthouse are held in the Gloucestershire Records Office.
