[QUOTE="Bishop, post: 16673, member: 1788"] [img]http://www.krela.co.uk/gallery2/d/2429-2/malt2.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.krela.co.uk/gallery2/d/2431-1/malt3.JPG[/img] I first visited this Malthouse at Bristol Docks in May last year, its now due for demolition which is an absolute crime due to it being one of the few remaining Victorian warehouses in the area. The site encompasses the brick clad Malthouse (otherwise known as the McArthur Warehouse), a derelict late Victorian or early Edwardian dwelling house, there are also various timber framed storage and industrial buildings to the rear of the site. Site was taken over by McArthurs an iron founding business around 1940-41, I believe they manufactured steel wire. McArthurs moved to larger premises in the late 50's. The main building has since been used as a sofa shop, bed shop, reclaimers and art centre. The out buildings have been used for boat building/repair, car repair, welders. [img]http://www.krela.co.uk/gallery2/d/2433-1/malt4.JPG[/img] Seems the end is near for the Malthouse, local campaigners have fought valiantly to save it, local council doesnt care, English Heritage lost interest and John Prescott handed the final decision back to the local council who then approved demolition.
