Scope and Content Glasgow Lead & Colour Works, No 50 Ruchill Street, Glasgow This works was founded in about 1874 by Alexander, Fergusson & Co. In 1881 the firm had lead works in McAlpine Street, and these works at Ruchill Wharf for white lead, red lead, litharge, paint, colour and varnish manufacture. This shows what was probably the c.1874 works, on the south side of Ruchill Street. The wall on the right marks the site of a bascule bridge over the Glasgow branch of the Forth and Clyde Canal, culverted after the Canal closed in 1962. This works was still in use in 1967 but the replacement of lead-based paints by modern, less toxic paints resulted in its closure in the 1980s. The culvert was replaced by a navigable bridge in 1990 as part of the Glasgow Canal Project. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
