Scope and Content Glasgow Cotton Spinners Co Ltd's mills, Swanston Street and No 121 Carstairs Street, Glasgow This pair of mills was built between 1884 and 1889 by the Glasgow Cotton Spinners Co Ltd, a company modelled on similar concerns being established in Oldham, Lancashire. The mills were designed by an Oldham architect, Joseph Stott. This shows the mills from the south-east, with the Dalmarnock Weaving Factory in front. The left-hand mill, in Carstairs Street, was built 1884-5, and the Swanston Street mill was completed in 1889. Both are iron-framed, with hollow-tile floors. Cotton spinning in these mills ended in the 1920s. By the 1960s they were being used for cardboard carton manufacture, by John Laird & Son Ltd. The Swanston Street mill and the chimney have since been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
