Scope and Content Sentinel Works, Nos 61-89 Jessie Street, Glasgow This shows the interior of the original machine and erecting shops from the south-west. These steel-framed bays lie behind an arched brick facade. By 1970 the building was being used as a warehouse for fork-lift trucks. The Sentinel steam wagon, made here, was so successful that the firm moved its production in 1916 to a new purpose-built factory at Shrewsbury. Thereafter this works concentrated, in peacetime, on compressor manufacture. During both World Wars it made munitions. This works was built in 1903-14 for Alley & McLellan, engineers, who had been in Polmadie Road since about 1880. They originally specialised in building small ships which were trial-assembled at this inland site, then broken down for shipment. This new works was built to make steam lorries and air compressors.
