Malthouse, greyish red brick, slate roof. 3 storeys, 16 bays long and 9 bays wide, 2 kiln chimneys at either end of the building. In good repair, a number of alterations. Now belongs to the Northern Rubber Co. (1) (2)

The building and its former neighbour to the east were built c.1867, just before the heyday of malting nationally in the 1870s and 1880s, the latter spurred on by repeal of the malt tax in 1880. The Thrumpton Lane maltings has seen a series of changes of ownership: Dawber and Gentil, Bass & Co., J. Pidcock Co. and latterly the Northern Rubber Company. (3)
