This single-storey vertically-integrated jute spinning and weaving works was built in 1873-4 by Thomson Bros for Col. Frank Sandeman, also of Stanley cotton mills. The engine house, with ornate timber trusses for the first Corliss engine in Dundee, was extended to the front when reequipped
in 1914, with a travelling crane, and in the 1950s dynamos were installed. The frontage was completed in the early 20th century. Spinning stopped in 1995. It is now occupied by several small businesses.
