Activities

Desk Based Assessment (20 June 2017)

Other than lengths of the brick-built ground-floor external walls (containing blocked openings), which have been retained as a boundary wall, nothing is now visible of this factory on the east bank of the River Clyde in the Dalmarnock area of Glasgow. Its site is now partly occupied by the yard of a transport company and partly by residential housing. The factory was built (1885-93) for George Wilson & Company, power-loom cloth manufacturers, at a time when Dalmarnock was a developing centre of power-loom weaving. The 2nd edition of the OS 25-inch map (Lanarkshire 1895, Sheet 010.03) depicts the factory, which measured 150m from N to S by 80m transversely over all, and comprised a block of single-storey weaving sheds with an engine shed attached to the S end of its W side. In the 1960s the weaving sheds were occupied by Leon Levin and Sons Ltd., furniture manufacturers.
