NIAS records:
There was a well in No 8 malthouse. It was well maintained with the latest pumping equipment always installed. Repaired in the 1950s as brickwork had fallen out of the shaft wall causing the water to become chalky. At the same time a concrete hump was placed over the grating to prevent lorries from damaging it.
