History
Heathcote Valley has a long history of Malting, the latest being the Canterbury Malting Company. The disused Maltworks, which closed in 1999, dominate the skyline. The distinctive Maltworks tower along with the rest of the remaining buildings were demolished in February 2012 to make way for residential developments.

the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day

sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”

“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
