Scope and Content Victoria Bread & Biscuit Works, No 30 Wesleyan Street, Glasgow This large bakery was established in 1880 by John MacFarlane & Sons, bakers, and later rebuilt and extended on several occasions, notably in 1886 and 1895. By 1901 the firm had become MacFarlane, Lang & Co, noted for their biscuits. Biscuit baking was moved to a bakery at Tollcross in the 1920s. This shows the Wesleyan Street frontage of the works from the north west. The block with the arched cart entries was built in 1886 to designs by McKissack and Rowan, architects, and the larger block beyond was added in 1895, and was designed by JM Monro, architect. After the biscuit factory was moved to Tollcross the residual bakery business in Wesleyan Street seems to have been reconstructed as the Milanda Bread Co Ltd, bread and cake manufacturers. The Wesleyan Street bakery closed in 1974 and was immediately demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
