Scope and Content United Co-operative Baking Society's bakery, Adelphi Street, McNeil Street, Ballater Street and Moffat Street, Glasgow This very large bakery was built 1886-1916 to supply bread and other bakery products to the thriving retail co-operative movement in greater Glasgow. The first section was in McNeil Street, and it eventually occupied a whole block. This shows the works from the north, showing the Adelphi Street frontage, facing Glasgow Green, and an oblique view of the Moffat Street frontage. The large chimney was part of the bakery, which was extensively mechanised. The Adelphi Street block was completed in 1908 and was, like the rest, designed by Bruce & Hay, architects, who used red and yellow bricks as the main cladding material, with sandstone dressings. The bakery closed c.1970 and was demolished in 1977. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
