Scope and Content Caledonia Engineering Works, Macdowall Street, Paisley, Renfrewshire This shows the Murray Street frontage of the boiler works, the other end of which faces the main part of the complex across Macdowall Street. These tall bays still housed a full range of equipment for making boilers in 1971. The company's boiler works was on the other side of Macdowall Street. The firm closed in 1981, by which time it was the last large general engineering works in Paisley. Most of the complex has since been demolished. Two of the machines from the boiler shops are in the Scottish Maritime Museum at Irvine. This works was founded in 1868 by A F Craig, and made a wide range of products, including boilers. It incorporated a large iron foundry. The firm made a large amount of plant for the Scottish shale-oil industry, and then for the petroleum industry, and also made sugar machinery and carpet looms.
