Note

This cotton mill and powerloom factory (cotton) are depicted and named on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map (Lanark, 1865, sheet VI.9) surveyed in 1858. By the second edition (Lanark, 1896, sheet 06.09), revised survey 1893, the west range depicted and named 'Cotton Mill' has been demolished and the Kelvinhaugh Factory (Cotton) and presumably still a powerloom factory remodelled.

The Stobcross Branch of the North British Railway is shown passing the southern boundary of the powerloom factory at Eastvale Place.
