(NT 2585 7065) A programme of historic building recording was carried out between December 2002 and August 2003 in advance of development of a new office block. The record included the remaining buildings earmarked for demolition, including two small public access observatory domes.

A watching brief was subsequently carried out on groundbreaking works associated with the redevelopment. No features of archaeological significance were encountered.
