Malting once took place on a fairly moderate scale in Sussex, but the industry has now left the county. Our last active malthouse closed in 1969, and was recently demolished to clear the way for a new road. It stood in the parish of Kingston-by-Sea, on the north side of the A259 road and to the west of Shoreham lifeboat station. Whilst at work, the malthouse was a living example of a very ancient process, but its closure was attended with little public interest. The traditional malting method is vanishing fast and at the same time many fine malthouse buildings are being demolished without the outcry that accompanies the disappearance of more glamorous industrial monuments. Malting is an important part of the brewing industry, and it is the aim of the present article to introduce the craft generally and provide a record of the process as it took place at Kingston.
