Scope and Content View of steam engine at South Dudhope Jute Works, Smellies Lane, Dundee, Tayside A royal burgh since c.1191, Dundee was famous for the 'three J's': journalism (D C Thomson, publishers of The Beano and The Dandy); jam (Keillers was a household name for marmalade); and jute, which had its heyday from the 19th to the late 20th century. This steam engine worked 154 looms and four dressing machines in the jute works of Alexander Henderson & Sons. It was made in Dundee in 1899 by James Carmichael & Company Limited, and was dismantled for scrap in 1967. The engine also powered a generator, made by Lowdon Brothers & Company, also of Dundee, which supplied the factory with electricity. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
