Scope and Content Clydesmill Power Station, Cambuslang, Lanarkshire Clydesmill Power Station was built as one of the first 'base-load' power stations in Scotland after the creation of the National Grid. It was subsequently extended. It was originally owned by the Clyde Valley Electric Power Company Limited. In this view the original station is on the left, with many chimneys serving its small boilers. The extension on the right had fewer, larger boilers. It drew its cooling water from the river Clyde, which can be seen in the left foreground. This was a very large power station by the standards of the time, as it had some very significant consumers among its industrial neighbours, including the Clyde Iron Works and Clydebridge Steel Works.
