Scope and Content Bishop Street Engineering Works, Nos 57-61 Bishop Street, Glasgow This works was constructed in 1863 for Walker, Brown & Co, engineers, who specialised in making sugar and other colonial machinery. It was established next to the Bishop Street Foundry, which had been founded in about 1860, and which probably supplied it with castings. This shows the works from the east. There are single-storeyed workshops behind the three-storeyed front block. The red and white brick construction and round-headed openings are typical of the 1860s. To the left is the Bishop Street Foundry, with its large doorway with glazed fanlight. This building was demolished later in 1966 to create a route for the approach roads for the Kingston Bridge across the River Clyde. The construction of the M8 urban motorway in the later 1960s cut a swathe through some of Glasgow's most interesting industrial archaeology. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
