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 main entrance of the bakery, in McNeil Street. The elaborate architectural treatment was intended to demonstrate that the cooperative movement had aspirations at least as high as those of private enterprise. 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.
