Malthouse Lane in Heathcote – Named because the street is adjacent to the Malting Company site. Named in 1997.
A tiny amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street. The houses here were built in 1990 and I didn’t walk the street as there wasn’t a footpath and it looked like a private driveway.
I spent a bit of time googling images to remind myself of what it like before the maltworks were demolished. Used to easily see them from the school train and I am sure that the buildings were still there when my niece lived nearby. I found a fantastic article written by Barrie Woods about the maltworks and I am going to have to find out what else he has written as I have enjoyed reading the articles.
