Scope and Content Cleansing Department Depot, Nos 142-4 Bell Street, Glasgow This shows the depot from the west, looking along Bell Street, with the entrance to the central courtyard in the centre of the block. Beyond it are a coffee roasting and grinding works of 1871, and stables built in about 1900 for the Glasgow & South Western Railway. This depot was still used by the Corporation Cleansing Department in 1971, though the only occupants of the stables were the city's police horses. The block housed offices for the department as well as the accommodation described above. This large red-sandstone-faced block was built in 1896-8 for Glasgow Corporation Cleansing Department to designs by A W Wheatley, engineer to the department. It originally housed cleansing vehicles on the ground floor, with stables for the horses to pull them on the upper floors. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
