Nothing is visible of this industrial site in an area of the S bank of the River Clyde now occupied by a factory, its car park and an area of ground to the east that is presently waste ground. In the 1860s the land was occupied by a large private house (Linthouse, NS56NW 206) and its policies, the extent of which are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Lanarkshire 1858, Sheet V). By the 1890s, however, it was occupied by the Linthouse Ship Building and Engineering Works, details of which are shown on the 2nd edition of the map (Lanarkshire 1898, Sheets V.NE and SE). The roughly rectangular-shaped yard, which measured about 14.7ha in area, contained numerous buildings, including three very large sheds, and although there was no slipway or quay, a long boat-shaped inlet had been dug into the length of the river bank. There was also a landing stage.
