Scope and Content Gartcosh Works, Gartcosh, Lanarkshire Gartcosh Works was the successor to Smith and MacLean's steel sheet rolling mill, founded in the late 19th century. In the late 1950s it was rebuilt to house the cold-reduction steel strip mill built to finish strip from Ravenscraig. This view shows a sheet bogie, a survival from the pre-strip mill days, when sheets were rolled in relatively small bundles. These were transported on top of the wooden frame work seen here. Gartcosh Works was rebuilt to retain employment in that part of Lanarkshire. The separation of strip manufacture into hot reduction at Ravenscraig and cold reduction at Gartcosh did not make economic sense, and both closed in the 1990s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
