August 2008: External inspection finds that the main threat to the buildings is redundancy of use. The distillery has been out of use for many years. Some missing and slipped slates, some missing guttering and other minor defects but generally in fair condition at this time.

12 September 2012: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit. Distilling ceased at the site in the 1930s, malting ceasing circa 1960s, the bonded warehouses remain in use.

16 September 2015: External inspection finds the buildings remain in much the same condition as seen previously. The complex is understood to partly remain in use as warehousing.

4 March 2024: Desk-based assessment suggests the building condition remains the same.
