Abstract:		 A building survey was undertaken of a structure behind 19, St John's, Worcester (NGR SO 8409 5446). This was requested by EC Harris on behalf of Arthur Amos Associates (acting on behalf of Sainsbury's Supermarkets) in accordance with a brief prepared by Worcester City Museum Archaeology Section in response to the submission of a planning application to Worcester City Council (reference numbers P07C0408 and L07C0084). These remains were recorded prior to and during demolition in advance of the construction of a new youth centre, and was part of a broader scheme of archaeological evaluation of Phases 2 to 8 of the Sainsbury's scheme that included additional trial trenching. The potential survival of a malthouse had been identified by previous archaeological deskbased assessment from documents and maps, and also limited internal and external inspection. The building survey was able to confirm that significant parts of a three-storey malthouse consistent in style and build with a later 18th century date had survived despite extensive later alteration. This correlated with a proposed original build date of around 1790 by a John Hooper, baker and maltster, as derived from historical documentation. There was enough structural evidence to interpret that the malthouse comprised a steeping/storage floor, a germination/storage floor, and a withering floor in the basement/undercroft, ground floor and upper storey, respectively, while the wider northernmost component housed the kiln, drying floor, and main access areas. A substantial brick-built well was also situated to the east of the kiln. The well contained the remains of an Archimedes screw mechanism made of cast-iron with wooden paddles still in situ.
