1891 OS Map of Pocklington.
Behind the Pavement brewery is the Maltkiln which was shared by all the towns breweries and was run as an independent business. In the last war, the observer corps used it as their headquarters. |
 |
On Watson's 1844 map, Pem Lane was named Stables Lane. Seth Stables bought the Maltkin, which looks like it was also used as a Tanyard in 1801. (See DDPY/78/1 below)

| From Wikipedi, the free encyclopedia: A malt house, or maltings, is a building where cereal grain is converted into malt by soaking it in water, allowing it to sprout and then drying it to stop further growth. The malt is used in brewing beer, whisky and in certain foods. The traditional malt house was largely phased out during the twentieth century in favour of more mechanised production. Many villages had a malt house in the eighteenth century, supplying the needs of local publicans, estates and home brewers. Malt houses are typically long, low buildings, no more than two storeys high, in a vernacular style. The germination of barley is hindered by high temperatures, so many malt houses only operated in the winter. This provided employment for agricultural workers whose labour was not much in demand during the winter months. Wolds and Pocklington barley with hard water from the chalk wolds made Pocklington an ideal location for brewing. |
