The main distillery buildings were located on the right-hand side (south side) of the road, where modern housing now stands, but the shell of the Exciseman's House could, when this picture was taken, still be seen to the left of the road.

The mill fell into disuse, and Littlemill Distillery then occupied the same site. It closed in the 1990s, but the name survives in Littlemill Lane, which is not far ahead, to the left of the road, and in Image, which is a little way back along the road.
