Scope and Content Victoria Bread & Biscuit Works, No 30 Wesleyan Street, Glasgow This works was founded in 1880 by John MacFarlane & Sons, bread and biscuit manufacturers, and greatly enlarged between then and 1911. The biscuit business, by then MacFarlane, Lang & Co Ltd, moved to a large new bakery in Tollcross in the 1920s, but this works was still a bakery in 1968. This shows part of the Forbes Street frontage of the works. The five-storeyed plus attic corner block was built in 1895 to designs by J M Munro, architect. The attractive tower housed both a water tank and a hoist. The bread bakery business remained as Lang's Bread Co Ltd for a number of years. By the 1960s that company had become part of the Milanda Bread Co Ltd, who continued in operation until 1977. The bakery was then making both bread and cakes. The buildings have since been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
