Scope and Content Workers' housing, Gartcosh, Lanarkshire Gartcosh appears to have grown up round the Gartcosh Fireclay Works, and later Smith and MacLean's sheet steel rolling works. In 1978 it served the successor to the latter, the cold-reduction steel strip mill built to finish strip from Ravenscraig. This view shows the back of one of the older rows in the village, with the typically Lanarkshire arrangement of open-stair access to the upper flats, in this case with coal cellars under the stairs. Gartcosh village was one of the least altered of Lanarkshire industrial vliiages in 1978, and was still very much a company village. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
