Scope and Content Cranstonhill Bakery, Cranston Street, Anderston, Glasgow (City of Glasgow council area) This very large bakery was constructed for BM and J Stevenson, grain merchants and commission agents, as a mechanised bread bakery, one of the first of its kind, if not the first, in Britain. It was probably designed by Salmon and Son. This view shows the building from the south east, showing its unusual depth from back to front. At its far end is an extension built in 1912 to designs by Salmon, Son and Gilespie. The building was disused in 1966. Stevensons marketed their bread as 'untouched by human hand'. It was made with mechanical dough mixers and continuous gas-fired ovens, which were speedily adopted by competitors, and which reduced the number of small bakers in the city.
