Scope and Content Firhill Iron Works, Panmure Street, Glasgow This foundry was established in about 1866 by Shaw & McInnes, architectural iron founders. The firm was still in business in 1965, specialising in making cast-iron pipes. This shows the foundry from the south-east. The cupola furnace used for melting iron projects above the roofs of the foundry buildings. The curious building on the right may have been a World War II addition. The canal-side location of this foundry must have been chosen so that pig iron could be brought straight to it from the iron-smelting works of the Coatbridge area.
