Scope and Content Tenements, Glasgow Road, Dalmuir, Dunbartonshire These tenements and others in Dalmuir were built by William Beardmore and Co to house workers in their Dalmuir Naval Construction Yard, opened in 1905. There was a great demand for shipyard workers, hence the quality of these buildings. This view shows the largest surviving block of tenements, from the south east. They are built of red sandstone, and the ones on Glasgow Road have shops on the ground floor. The Dalmuir yard closed in the mid 1930s and was sold to Arnott, Young and Co, shipbuilders, in 1938. Some of these tenements were destroyed, and most damaged, in the Clydebank blitz of 1941. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
