Scope and Content Part of Rose Street Foundry, Inverness, Inverness-shire (Highland council area) This was Inverness's largest and most enduring engineering works. It made a wide range of products, though it specialised in making iron and steel bridges, including the Greig Street and Waterloo bridges in Inverness, and railway footbridges. This view shows part of the workshops, in Rose Street. The tall single-storey section on the right is typical of 19th century engineering shops. with large arched doorways to handle large products, but its design is unusually refined. In the mid -late 20th century the works was owned by AI Welders, who made welding machines. They sold the site for the construction of a supermarket, and moved to a new factory on an industrial estate. The offices are now an Irish theme pub. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
