Scope and Content Shettleston Ironworks, No 629 Old Shettleston Road, Glasgow This works was founded in about 1874 by J & T Boyd, textile machinery manufacturers, who had previously occupied the Nassau Works in Bishop Street, Anderston. The new works was connected by rail with the Coatbridge iron-smelting works. This shows the frontage of the works to Old Shettleston Road. The main range is on the left. This view gives little idea of its scale, as its long axis of 43 bays is at right angles to this frontage. This was the last of Glasgow's textile machinery makers to remain in business. The firm built a new factory in the Queenslie Industrial Estate in 1964. They retained this works, eventually returning to it before closing in the 1980s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
