Scope and Content Cleansing Department Depot, Nos 142-4 Bell Street, Glasgow This shows the depot from the north-west, looking along Watson Street, with Bell Street on the left. The building has a central courtyard, with galleries supported on riveted steel beams and cast-iron columns. To the right is a warehouse built in the 1870s which was destroyed by fire soon after 1971. This depot was still used by the Corporation Cleansing Department in 1971, though the only occupants of the stables were the city's police horses. The block housed offices for the department as well as the accommodation described above. This large red-sandstone-faced block was built in 1896-8 for Glasgow Corporation Cleansing Department to designs by A W Wheatley, engineer to the department. It originally housed cleansing vehicles on the ground floor, with stables for the horses to pull them on the upper floors. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
