History
This place was built between 1901 and 1906 for the sole purpose of facilitating three key stages in the beer making process. The site was originally purchased by Bass Ratcliff & Greeton Ltd in 1901 and plans for the huge site were prepared by Mr H A Couchman who had prepared designs...

Visited with Urbexbandoned :-P
We decided to do some local Lincolnshire stuff one weekend a few months ago. I was glad to re-visit this place to see some of the bits that I hadn't seen on previous visits. Turned out to be well worth the visit as the first of the eight large...
Went back for another look with FatPanda, Raz & Jord
Hopefully i've got some new interesting shots and not the same old same old! :thumb

Sleaford Bass Maltings
One of those days when you find yourself with exploration withdrawal symptoms and it's too late to find a partner in grime.
So I decided to take the short drive to sleaford solo to check out this huge complex. I was "going in dry" so to speak, with only
some google maps...
Those of you who have been around this hobby for a long time will probably recognise the name Langley Maltings as a real blast from the past, I certainly remember seeing photos of it in it's exploring heyday before the big fire at the end of 2009 wiped out half the site.
After a couple of fails...
After Much Googling we decided to head back down the M1 towards this next site and see what we could see. It didn't look much by the pictures but succeded our expectations.
We stopped off in Sileby, Leicstershire early evening and popped into this old Brewery/Maltings. It was thought to have...
[CENTER]Final site from mine and Landie's roadtrip, after a few disappointing fails we waved goodbye to Sheffield and after a brief bit of googling found this place so decided to pop in for a look on the way home. A small site but a lovely one at that!
Sadly half demolished now, and the...

The buildings were originally the site of the Beeston Brewery which was founded in 1896 and carried on production until 1922 when it was taken over by Shipstones & Sons and converted into maltings, which served the main...
Another site we took in on our recent roadtrip.
Had a bit of a twist this explore did. We'd been there about 2 hours and had worked our way down to the buildings closest to the entrance when we saw two police vehicles drive past the front of the buildings inside the compound - bugger that's not...
Not really a proper explore, but I thought I'd post some pics up anyway, lots of history here -
