Scope and Content Walker's Sugar Refinery, Greenock, Renfrewshire This refinery had buildings of various dates from the mid 19th century on. It was badly damaged in the Greenock blitz of 1941, but was back in production much sooner than Westburn. This view shows one of the smaller buildings, a flat-roofed building constructed of red brick, with a cast iron water tank on the roof. It was not as tall as the generality of refinery buildings, and I do not know for what it was used. This refinery was, like the Westburn Refinery, owned latterly by Tate and Lyle, It had closed when this photograph was taken, and was demolished shortly afterwards.
