Scope and Content Queen's Park Locomotive Works, No 321 Aitkenhead Road, Glasgow This works was founded in 1864 as the Glasgow Locomotive Works by Henry Dubs, formerly works manager of Neilson & Co's Hyde Park Works. In 1903 it became part of the North British Locomotive Co Ltd, who renamed it the Queen's Park works. This shows the office block in Aitkenhead Road from the south-west, with part of the steel-framed workshops added in 1906-8 by the North British Locomotive Co Ltd. The date of this office block is not clear, but it may have been part of the original works. The works was reorganised in 1955-6 to make diesel-electric and diesel-hydraulic locomotives, and was the last of the three North British Locomotive Co Ltd to operate. It closed in 1963, and much of the complex was demolished. The erecting shop was taken over as an aluminium rolling mill. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
