Glen Mills, Sailcloth/Canvass Manufactory, is depicted and annotated on the 1st edition of the OS 25-inch map (Renfrew 1864, sheet II.11) as a complex of buildings on the NE side of Ardgowan Street, with a flax bleaching ground to the NE, between the buildings and the shore. The mill was still in operation at the time of the 4th edition of the OS 25-inch map (Renfrew 1940, sheet II.11), but it is not clear when it ceased to operate. By 1971 the area contained buildings belonging to the Kingston Shipyard and since then the area has been redeveloped.
