Full Description

A malt house that was constructed just to the west of Louth railway station. It was probably built around the same time as the railway station (1848) or shortly after, making use of the transport links it provided. The original malt house was demolished and replaced by a larger malt house in the 1950s, which was in turn demolished in 2015 and replaced by a supermarket. {1} The malt house is depicted on the 1st edition 6" Ordnance Survey County Series map, where it is shown as a long, rectangular building, measuring roughly 110m long by 25m wide. It is shown with its own set of dedicated railway sidings to the immediate east, which would have allowed for easier transport of raw materials and finished products. {2}
