I think we all know and love this place so ill try and keep it short and sweet. A nice long re-visit to this place with zero. We was lucky and clever enough to get in 90%+ of this place, lots of dodgy climbing, balancing and ripped clothes was worth it.
Designed specifically to facilitate three key stages in the production of beer, Bass Malting's is a Grade II* listed complex built between 1901 and 1907 that consists of nine parallel ranges. The central block with its engine house and water tower is flanked by six-storey malt houses on either side and occupies a site of 13.3 acres with a frontage almost 1,000 ft long. Malting's operations ceased in 1959 and the buildings were subsequently used for poultry farming and vegetable processing.
Every year is meant to be progress for regeneration, all that happens is fires, vandalism, red tape from councils and company's whilst she continues to deteriorate.
Developers say they are still committed to transforming Sleaford’s iconic Bass Malting's buildings, despite one of the key partners pulling out of the project. Avant Homes, which owns the Grade II Listed structure, is sticking to its original proposals to transform the buildings into a mixed development of residential, healthcare and community facilities, but the developers say the progress of the redevelopment will be delayed. The plans were dependant on a new road from Boston Road to Grantham Road being built, which supermarket giant Tesco had agreed to pay for as well as building a brand new superstore for the town.
When and what happens next is anyone's guess.
I love exploration and everything that goes with it, well apart from doing reports, FB, websites etc. Ill try my best to improve on this in 2015.
Hope you enjoyed the report.
