Scope and Content Grovepark Mills, No 188 North Woodside Road, Glasgow This factory was founded in 1857 by Mitchell & Whytlaw, power-loom manufacturers, and subsequently enlarged on several occasions. The main four-storey L-plan block was built in 1878, and was probably designed by John Gordon, an architect who specialised in designing factories. This shows the main building from the west, with a tenement, probably built by the company for its employees, to the left. The red and white brick construction is typical of the period. Multi-storey weaving factories were becoming rare by the 1870s. In 1966 the works was occupied by George Stark & Sons Ltd, chromo, enamelled and gummed papers, pasteboard, card and coated board manufacturers, as the Grove Park Paper Mills. It was demolished in 1969. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
