Scope and Content United Co-operative 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 McNeil Street/Adelphi Street corner, which could be seen from the river Clyde and Glasgow Green, and which was therefore elaborately finished. The designers were Bruce and Hay; the statue on the roof was typical of their work. This building was demolished in 1977. It 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.
