Scope and Content Hallside Steel Works, Newton, Lanarkshire This was the first large-scale steel works in Scotland, founded in 1871 by the Steel Company of Scotland. This became part of Colvilles Ltd in the 1930s, and was converted to make alloy steels by Clyde Alloy Ltd in 1959. This view shows the building latterly used as the pattern shop and joiners' shop, immediately north of the entrance. Before the works was converted into an alloy steel works it made some very large steel castings, hence the size of the pattern shop. Clyde Alloy Ltd was a Colville subsidiary set up in 1936 to make stainless and other alloy steels. The conversion of Hallside to make such steels was a reflection of growing demand in the post-war period. The works closed c.1979. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
