DescriptionIsland Green Malthouse and Brewery, Wrexham, is a brick-built, double courtyard range established by John Jones 1856, with additions/alterations of 1890. The original buildings are of red brick with dentil eaves. The slate roofs have reticulated keystone to brick vousssoirs and stone plinth.
The southern outer courtyard includes a 3-storey malting range and twin kilns with brewery buildings to the west and north. A pair of brewing towers are sited at the NW corner between the north cellar range and west former loading bay range. An archway in this range provides access to a rear courtyard and stable range.
The buildings were used as a creamery by 1937 and are now redundant. An application has been made for change of use to residential.
