Malt tower and adjoining ranges to John Smith's Brewery

The malt tower and adjoining ranges at John Smith's Brewery were built in 1882 by Scamell and Collyer of Leeds. The structure features rusticated sandstone and a Welsh slate roof, along with a wrought iron balustrade. The malt tower stands seven storeys tall and consists of three bays, flanked by two ranges: to the left, a three-storey range with eleven bays and a single-storey, two-bay end; to the right, a three-storey range with 24 bays and a single-storey, eight-bay end. The plinth is not continuous, and there is a rear entrance. The building has casement windows throughout, set under various types of arches including flat, elliptical, basket-headed, and round arches, some of which feature keystones. An oriel window on the left range is adorned with carved acanthus and floral decoration, along with the monogram 'W S' at its base. The left range also has a modillion cornice with fleurons between and a hipped roof topped by a glazed attic storey, which is further enhanced by a decorative balustrade and a flag-pole support. The roofs of the other sections are mostly concealed. At the time of listing, the right range was covered in scaffolding and guttered. The interior has not been inspected.
