Scope and Content United Cooperative Baking Society's bakery, McNeil, Adelphi, Moffat and Ballater streets, Glasgow This very large bakery was built in stages between 1886 and 1916, in a vaguely Flemish style, mostly in polychrome brick, for the United Cooperative Bakery Society, which supplied bread and other bakery products to retail co-operative societies. This view shows the Adelphi Street frontage, which faced the river Clyde and Glasgow Green, and which had the most regular of the four frontages of the complex. Demolition of the centre has revealed the tall chimney in the centre of the building. The demolition started in this view was completed later in 1977. This was the largest of Glasgow's mechanised bakeries, but the marked decline of retail co-operation in the post-war period made it unprofitable. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
