This building at 99 Southwark St was built in 1874 specifically to house "Kirkaldy's Testing and Experimenting Works". It was a place where experiments took place on materials to determine their strength. This was done primarily using Kirkaldy's own design of testing machine. The building has a museum which houses the machine on the ground floor and the museum is open on special days only
