Tuxford History
Tuxford is a small, picturesque market town on the southern edge of the Bassetlaw district in northern Nottinghamshire. It has a distinctive Georgian townscape and many local amenities having grown up as a coaching station on the original 'Great North Road.'
This quaint village was once a hub for travellers and at one time boasted four railway stations (through which, the East Coast mainline originally passed). Today, it remains a great destination for tourists thanks to its variety of independent shops and attractions.
Some of the highlights include a large, working tower windmill, originally built in 1820 and restored to working order between 1982 and 1993. It is open to visitors daily (except Tuesdays) throughout the year. The mill, with its large white sails, dominates Tuxford's skyline. The mill still produces flour which is sold from the Mill Shop and Tea Rooms. The mill bakery is famous for its cakes, soups & rolls.
As a historic coaching town it has a 'Museum of the Horse' and the 'Walks of Life handcart museum', which chronicles Tuxford's history on wheels.
The town boasts an old lock up where the prisoners stayed overnight on their way to London and the unique 'Rebel Stone' where it is said that a Jacobite prisoner 'of some importance' broke his neck leaping from a coach and was buried standing up on the side of the old Great North Road. It also has ancient tunnels running underneath it, although these are not open to the public, which are said to have been originally used to transport beer barrels around the town to the numerous inns that sprang up to cater to the passing trade.
Tuxford Town
The town now has three good-sized car parks, all within easy walking distance of the museums and shops. There is also a country clothing shop, a bric-a-brac shop, as well as a modern art gallery and coffee shop. On the edge of the town are two camping and caravanning venues including Orchard Park on Marnham Road. There is a local supermarket on Newcastle Street and three village pubs. The nearest sizeable towns are Newark-on-Trent and Retford, which both have good rail links to the North and South and have numerous restaurants, wine bars and cafes, as well as well-established farmer's markets.
Local Attractions
Near Sherwood Forest and Clumber Park
Less than an hour from The Peak District National Park and beautiful Derbyshire.
Close to Farndon Marina in picturesque Newark
Other Places Of Interest
Other places of interest nearby include Laxton, a picturesque village where the strip farming of medieval times can still be seen, and which is also home to the National Holocaust Centre, West Markham, which is about a mile away and has one of the oldest Saxon churches in the country and Milton where visitors can see the mausoleum built by the Duke of Newcastle for his wife in 1832. Tuxford itself was designated a conservation area in 1980 and has been greatly restored with the help of English Heritage. It had a population of 2,649 in the 2011 census.
The Maltings History
In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, most villages and market towns commonly had malt houses or 'maltings' that served to supply the local needs of publicans, country estates and home brewers. It is a building where cereal grain (usually barley) is converted into 'malt'. The grain would be soaked in water, allowing it to artificially germinate, and then quickly dried out by kilning, to prevent further growth. The malt liquor is then used in brewing beer, whisky and making certain foods. At this time, beer used to be the staple drink (before tea and coffee) as a way of ensuring that water was potable (drinkable). Malt is weighed by volume where eight gallons or thirty-six litres equal one bushel. People who worked in maltings were known as 'Maltsters'.
Because of its coaching heritage and subsequent function in hospitality, the Malting industry started to grow rapidly during the eighteenth century and in the late eighteenth century Tuxford was one of the biggest producers in the north of England.
Pictured is a 1907 postcard that depicts Eldon Street (looking towards Mill Mount) and our maltings building. Note the gabled addition at the Western end, likely to have been the malt kiln
Malting Structures
Malting sheds are typically long and low in structure (rarely more than two storeys high) in a vernacular style (architecture concerned with functional use rather than monumental buildings). During Summer months, maltings often closed as germination of barley is hindered by higher seasonal temperatures. This, however, provided employment for agricultural workers whose labour was limited in the Winter months.
Traditional maltings were largely phased out during the twentieth century in favour of mechanised production techniques and became less profitable because of changes in legislation around taxation. With lack of demand many buildings fell into dereliction.
Modern Day Malting Conversions
Although most maltings buildings have sadly been lost over the years, thankfully some (like ours) have been converted to alternative uses. A good example is the 'Snape Maltings' in Suffolk which is now used as a concert hall. This building as does ours sensitively incorporates modern design whilst respecting its historical and industrial significance.
The Tuxford Maltings Project
The Tuxford site itself extends to 0.13 acres with an original footprint of 540m2. One of the pictures included here shows the dilapidated site prior to its purchase in 2016. Nearly two years then passed whilst Dynamical Developments Ltd worked with local conservation team and planners to fully survey the site and agree on the best way forward to preserve and sensitively restore it to use.
Work finally commenced during the Summer of 2018 and is anticipated to be finished around Spring-Summer 2021. Dynamical Developments Ltd are exceptionally pleased and privileged to have worked with local conservation teams in saving this historic industrial building from years of dereliction and decay. It will bring a whole new chapter to its history within Tuxford village, hopefully for future generations to enjoy. It will contain four exclusive three bedroom bespoke homes and a two-bedroom luxury apartment, all with a self-contained enclosed communal garden area and secure gated parking.
