Langley Maltings, Grade II listed malt house in Oldbury, Sandwell, England.
The structure features two parallel three-storey ranges of malting floors with six kilns positioned at the eastern end, adjacent to the Titford Canal.
Built in 1898 by Arthur Kinder & Son, this industrial facility replaced an earlier malt house that burned down in 1897 and operated until 2006.
The maltings supplied grain to Crosswells Brewery, which distributed Showell's Ales throughout the Midlands and later expanded into gin production.
The Victorian Society listed this building among the top ten endangered structures in 2018, highlighting the urgent need for preservation measures.
The facility remained one of the last maltings in Britain to use floor malting methods, where barley grains were spread and turned by hand for germination.
