' Eastfield Ropery of John Wilson & Sons (Twines) Ltd., Cambuslang Road, Rutherglen, Lanarkshire This factory made twine in a manner similar to making rope in a rope walk. This view shows the ropery from the front, with the two storey brick piend-roofed office on the main road. Behind it can be seen the long single storey building in which the twine was made by twisting together lengths of yarn. Twine and string were much more in demand at that time, before modern packaging materials were in general use. Even then, however the use of ropewalk technology was rare.
