Scope and Content Clyde Rivet Works, Nos 119-31 Laidlaw Street, Glasgow Rivets were used in vast quantities in shipbuilding and boilermaking until the 1950s, when electric arc welding became commonplace. This works was founded in 1872-3 for the Clyde Rivet Works Co, and extended in 1898 for W & R B Macowat. This shows the works from the north-west, with a large range of cooperative society warehouses beyond. The crowstepped building, with its roof-ridge ventilators, is probably the addition of 1898, designed by Burnet & Boston, architects. This works became part of the Rivet, Bolt & Nut Co Ltd, a defensive amalgamation. By 1967 it had closed and been adapted as premises for the Scottish National Glass & Glazing Co Ltd.
