Scope and Content Coustonholm Works (Cotton Weaving), Nos 8-48 Coustonholm Road, Glasgow This weaving factory was founded in about 1858 by the Coustonholm Weaving Co, and covered a large area. It was situated in Pollokshaws, which was, at the time, a village with a reputation for hand-loom weaving and textile finishing. This shows what was left of the complex in 1968, photographed from Pollokshaws East railway station. The buildings seen here all seem to have been ancillary to the main weaving shops, behind the building with the long roof-ridge ventilator. The main part of this complex had been replaced by a modern water-proofing works by 1968, and all the older parts have now gone. Pollokshaws village was almost entirely rebuilt in the 1960s, and some of the tower blocks seen here were part of the redevelopment. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
