AN HISTORIC building at the centre of Haddington has been restored to its former glory. A giant crane lifted a copper pagoda into place on top of the floor maltings building, off the town’s Whittingehame Drive, on Tuesday afternoon. Work has been ongoing since November 2019 at the five-storey building, which is home to PureMalt Products Ltd. The pagoda was lifted into place during a 30-minute operation and sees the building topped with a pagoda again for the first time in nearly 75 years. The previous pagoda was damaged during a roof fire in May 1946. Bruce Turner MBE, chairman and managing director of PureMalt, was delighted that the restoration of the pagoda was completed.
