Scope and Content Pullar's Dyeworks, 1 Mill Street, Perth (Perth and Kinross council area) Robert Pullar's Perth Dyeworks was the largest works of its kind in 19th century Scotland. It came to offer a service to domestic customers which included laundry, dyeing of made up clothing and carpets, dry cleaning and carpet beating. This view shows a group of small dry-cleaning machines used for cleaning leather gloves, which were fashionable wear for ladies for many years. There arre other dry-cleaning machines in the background, belt-driven. The centralised service offered by Pullars, who had branches in many parts of Scotland, all sending orders to Perth, fell out of favour from the 1960s, and the works closed in the 1980s. It is now being converted into local government offices. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
