POLMADIE
Oatlands was a miners' village, serving Dixon's Govan Collieries. When Henry Dubs set up the Queen's Park Locomotive Works in 1864 at Polmadie (see North British Locomotive Co., p. 00), tenements quickly took over the two low-lying areas close to the Clyde links. Alley & MacLellan prefabricated ships at Jessie Street from c.1880, and steam lorries until production was relocated to Shrewsbury in 1917. Tenements along Rutherglen Road were among the first in the city to be refurbished some years ago but were subsequently demolished and the area now awaits the M74 extension.
