Free Rodwell & Co Maltings, Mistley Quay, Essex

Mistley is a traditional area for malt production, although not for brewing. Here men raise sacks of locally-produced barley to the storeroom at the top of the building. From there, gravity helps to feed it back down through the process. Find out more about maltings in our Teachers' Kit - Maltings.
