Scope and Content Workshops and Stables, Nos 148-62 Moffat Street, Glasgow This complex was constructed for the United Co-operative Baking Society in 1897 to designs by Bruce & Hay, who also designed the Society's large bakery. These premises housed the Society's bread vans, the horses to pull them, and the maintenance workshops for all the Society's equipment and vehicles. This shows the building from the south-east. The building was not completed, the flat roofs showing where construction stopped. The use of red and white brick was a speciality of Bruce & Hay. The stables were on the upper floors, the horses walking up ramps to reach them. The Society were the biggest bread bakers in Glasgow, and supplied all the retail co-operative societies in the Glasgow area with bread, cakes and tea-bread until the 1970s. For many years they had a fleet of horse-drawn vans to deliver their products, and this was their base. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
