Piling work for a new office extension for the Hydro-Board revealed a stone lined well under the car park, noted during a watching brief. The well lay 5m S of the area investigated in 1984 (see NO12SW 138) and was probably of 18-19th century date.
Demolition of a boundary wall for the above developement revealed a re-used decorated lintel. This stone may have come from Lord John Murray's house which stood adjacent to the site.
