Renfrew Road at Hardgate Road c1950. Stephen's shipyard battery powered locomotive is returning empty wagons and a van from the yard to the goods station. The track junction is curving off the frame to the right past the end of Hardgate Road into the goods yard seen on the left in the large photo (below) of the SCWS factories. On the left behind the brick wall is the original Shieldhall Sewage Works, which in the 1960s was enlarged to cover much of the northern end of Hardgate Road and the by then disused goods yard. The Clyde Sawmill & Wood Storage, with its distinctive sheds with Belfast type roofs, and walls with vents to keep the contents dry, is behind the adverts on the right. The board seen above the locomotive’s cab carried the wood-yard company name. |

S.C.W.S.Shieldhall 'Printing Department' Factory, Renfrew Road and Bogmoor Road, Glasgow This large complex was built in stages from 1887 by the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society to make goods for, and provide services to, retail co-operative societies in Scotland. It complemented other Society works in the Tradeston and Kinning Park areas of Glasgow. This shows the frontage to Renfrew Road, intended to be a symmetrical set-piece, with a clock tower over the entrance to the complex. Owing to World War I it was never completed. The six-storeyed block was the printing works. The co-operative movement was very strong in central Scotland, and remained so until the 1960s, when rising living standards, changing social attitudes and conservatism in management reduced its impact dramatically. This factory was run down over a period, though some of the buildings have been reused. |
