Brandsby Agricultural Traders' Association

The building is a complex of structures, originally Brandsby Agricultural Traders' Association (formerly The Malton Biscuit Factory), dating back to the early 18th century, with significant additions from around 1887 and subsequent alterations. It incorporates a probable former building associated with the Derwent Navigation.

The construction is primarily of pink and cream mottled brick in English bond, sitting on a sandstone ashlar plinth. Dressings are of orange-red gauged brick, with weatherboarding to a lucam (a projecting, multi-storey bay window). The roof is slate, with a corrugated asbestos section to the boilerhouse. A truncated brick and stone stack, featuring stone weathering courses, is prominent at the right end.

The main front is four-storey, with eight windows, set on a low basement with square-arched cellar openings. A five-storey lucam is centrally positioned. A four-storey, three-window crosswing projects at the left end, and a one-storey, three-bay boilerhouse is situated at the right end, with the former Derwent Navigation building attached further to the right. Both the crosswing and boilerhouse fronts are pedimented and project outwards. The crosswing’s entrance is marked by panelled double doors beneath a tall, radial-glazed fanlight, accompanied by two radial-glazed windows, all set within round arches of gauged brick recessed beneath a round-arched arcade. Ground floor loading doors are present, along with access doors to the lucam, some of which have been altered. Upper-floor windows on the main front and crosswing are generally cross-windows, except where altered or blind. A raised sillband is visible on the first floor; stone sills are present on the other windows. A moulded eaves cornice runs along the main front and the pedimented crosswing gable.

The left return is four-storey high, with four windows. Basement openings are square-arched. The ground floor is arcaded, with a tally window at the right end. A sillband and moulded eaves cornice are again present. The boilerhouse features three arcaded bays with recessed round-arched openings, now blocked, and a moulded eaves cornice with a blocked oculus in the gable end. The right return shows a one-storey, three-window elevation with round-headed windows recessed beneath a round-arched arcade. A pent outbuilding, also one-storey with two bays, is attached further to the right, featuring bricked-up round arches with stone keyblocks on piers with sandstone bases and sandstone imposts. Features of note within the crosswing include two lobed cruciform tie rod ends on each floor and a radial-glazed oculus set into the gable end.
