Tower And Adjoining Maltings At Workington Brewery

The tower and adjoining maltings at Workington Brewery date from the mid-19th century. They feature painted rendered walls, a hipped slate roof on the tower, and Welsh slate on the maltings. The structure includes a six-storey, two-bay square tower with battlements and a tall chimney stack, built against a terrace, making the rear four storeys high. The flanking maltings consist of three storeys with two bays on the right and four bays on the left, with two storeys at the rear. The tower has central boarded doorways on each floor, each beneath a projecting wooden hoist house, and features two-light windows with quoined surrounds. The maltings also have similar two-light windows. This building is an important landscape feature on a hill overlooking the river, while further adjoining buildings are not of interest.
