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 what appears to have been a small steam-engine house on the north side of the main range, which may have housed an engine to power part of the single-storey weaving sheds to the west. There was a larger engine-house for the main range. 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.
