This history is not confined to dusty books; it’s a living part of the community. A perfect example is the upcoming talk at the Ware Museum on November 26th, titled “The Southern Malting: From Malthouse to Arthouse.” This event explores the incredible 120-year journey of a local landmark, from its industrial roots as a farmyard and malting, through its time as a warehouse and pub, to its current vibrant life as the Ware Arts Centre. This story of transformation mirrors the journey many take when finding a new home—seeing the potential and history within a property and making it their own.
