British DiaMalt originated in the early 1900's and was once a World-leading manufacturer of malt products, cereal extracts and beer,cider and wine kits.
Following in Newark's rich (yet now lost) brewing tradition, the company have been based here for over 100 years, until its closure in 2006.
The site is built around existing original malting's but they were unfortunately and horrifically ''modernised'' in the early 1990's now leaving only the option of demolition.
It is sad to see Newark's last functioning malt company go, it was once only a small part of a massive brewing and malting industry that lined the bank of the Trent either side of the town.
(Most are now gone, sadly most burned in the late 90's, but the odd few are still standing...just now as ''tasteful'' housing for undesirables..)
Anyhoo, not much to see really but thought it was worth documenting as i was there.. just in time too.
Only problem now is how to shift the smell of malt extract off me...
Some kind of huuuggee tank thingy whats it.
Really nice brickwork and braces in the wall.
Inside one of the buildings.
Some one really liked their new office..
Some sort of Malt based energy drink.. must be foul.. there's loads of it left behind !
The evil smear of malty badness that tried to steal my shoe.. it did smell tasty in a marmite kind of way tho..
Was a good explore for a spur of the moment- solo mission, sorry if not many external shots.. it appeared that out of sight stealth was going to be key...
