' Hosiery Works, Nos 157-69 Crownpoint Road, Glasgow This works was built for James Ormond, hosier, in 1874. This firm produced knitted undergarments, using for a time a 'Mary Queen of Scots' trademark. This was one of the few 19th-century hosiery concerns in the city. This shows the works from the north-east, illustrating its cramped triangular site. The large number of windows was typical of hosiery works, giving good light for operating the knitting machines. In 1966 the works was being used by Hamilton, Bale & Co Ltd, printers, stationers and drawing office materials makers. It had been demolished by 1988. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN. '
