The Old Maltings, Ovenden Wood, Halifax

 Built in 1898 The Maltings was part of the Webster's Brewery Fountain Head complex until the brewery was closed in 1996. Webster's Brewery had occupied the area of Ovenden Wood known as Fountain Head from the mid 1800's and the site was developed in to housing after closure, the Maltings at this time became a college. The building was granted Grade II listed status on the 18th April 1990 and along with nearby Long Can is all that remains of the brewery.

The pictures below were taken on the 16th February 2014 with a Polaroid is2132 camera. I was nearby taking pictures of the Halifax High Level Railway which ran past the Maltings building, Wheatley Viaduct starting nearby. I believe their may have been a railway siding here for a time.
