Scope and Content Weaving factory, Catherine Street, Arbroath, Angus Arbroath was second only to Dundee as the principal industrial centre in Angus. Its principal industry was the making of sailcloth and flax canvas, but it also had a notable engineering industry, as well as its renowned fishing and boatbuilding trades. This shows a former weaving factory immediately to the east of Arbroath Station. The steam engine house, with its tall round-headed window, and boiler house, with its tall chimney are in the centre, with single-storeyed weaving sheds to the right and to the rear, with iron ventilators on the roof ridges. This complex was made up of buildings of a variety of dates and characters. This section was the most coherent, and probably dated from the 1860s or 1870s. The complex has been demolished since this photograph was taken. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
