Excavation (15 June 2007 - 18 June 2008)
NT 1225 7419 Excavation was undertaken in three areas of the development, 15 June 2007–18 June 2008. The
work exposed structures and deposits relating to the early development of the distillery, including stone-built walls and a mill lade. Scarring on one of the walls indicated the former presence of a large water wheel. Additional structures that may have been associated with the earlier Lambs Mill were also recorded. An additional excavation of a 28m² area was undertaken in June 2008. A truncated brick flue with associated stone built wall, overlying an earlier stone lined culvert, was recorded during this work.

Standing Building Recording (1 January 2012 - 1 April 2012)
NT 12313 74254 A Level 3 standing building survey was carried out January – February 2012 on a Category C listed former double-kiln malting building prior to its demolition. A watching brief was also carried out to record the building as it was taken down. The building occupied a rectangular 21.5 x 11.5m footprint. The principal features on the ground floor were a pair of brick-built kilns that supplied heat and smoke to the second floor via smoke hoods. The first floor contained baffles above the kiln for diffusing heat and smoke to the hoods which in turn vented the malting floor. The drying malt was turned by an electric rotating plough that traversed the length of the building on a steel rack. The original rubble-built walls date to the late 19th century. The building was refitted during the early 20th century to accommodate the structural composite steelwork that carried the roof and the smoke hoods. Historical records show the building was constructed during the late 19th century and that it was part of a much larger range of distillery buildings.
