The Future

Over the past few years several proposals have been put forward for the Maltings, but the cost of any rebuilding would be very high. One such proposal was that it would be rebuilt, as far as practicable, along the original lines but as a Motel with a link road from the by-pass. One of the attractions was that it would have its own small brewery. There would also be mooring facilities for passing narrow boats to "wap up for a drink" as in days gone by, unfortunately nothing so far has yet materialised.

2006 update.

Subsequent to the above article, which appeared in the 1990s, the Malthouse area has been re-developed. Some of the original buildings are now the Malthouse Farm Chef & Brewer Inn. The remaining area is now a Premier Travel Inn and a Next Generation Gym sports complex.
