Scope and Content Part of river frontage of Yarrow Shipyard, No 1465 South Street, Glasgow This shipbuilding yard was built in 1906-7 by Yarrow & Co to replace their yard at Poplar, on the River Thames. The firm specialised in building small, fast warships and shallow-draught river steamers. This shows part of the river frontage of the yard. On the left is the covered fitting-out basin, and there are two unoccupied building berths to the right, with a platers' shop beyond. This yard has for many years been the leading British warship construction yard. It expanded in the 1960s and 1970s by taking over the former Blythswood shipyard and the Elderslie dry docks of Barclay, Curle & Co Ltd. It now belongs to BAe Systems Ltd.
