Fountain Head Maltings - Halifax

Designed by the eminent brewery architect, William Bradford, the Fountain Head Maltings was erected for Samuel Webster and Sons Ltd., and completed in 1900 at a cost of £10,000. The premises were of 120 quarter capacity with four growing floors and two, sixty quarter kilns; unmalted grain being unloaded directly into the barley store from the company's' own railway siding. Malting ceased in 1963, thereafter the building was used as a store, until conversion to offices in 1987; it now houses a sixth form college. Photo. November 2013.
