Broomward Mill, No 63 Kerr Street, Glasgow This factory was built in about 1867 for Henry Fyfe & Son, power-loom cloth manufacturers, probably to designs by John Gordon, architect. It was one of the last multi-storeyed power-loom weaving factories to be built in Glasgow. This shows the factory from the south-east, with part of the cut-down Broomward Cotton Works of about 1815 on the left. The hand of an architect is evident in the strongly-moulded string-course and cornice, and in the use of both round-headed and flat-headed windows. The mill was used between 1902 and 1967 as a carpet factory, by James Templeton & Co. It has since been demolished. Until the 1960s and 1970s much of the east end of Glasgow was covered with carpet factories, but competition from cheap tufted carpets led to their closure. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
