Activities

Excavation (14 June 2010 - 2 July 2010)

NS 607 632 An excavation was undertaken, 14 June–2 July 2010, on an area of open public land adjacent to the River Clyde, prior to work relating to the upgrading of a road. The excavation identified the remains of a 19th-century cotton mill. Following the construction of the mill structures (Phase 1) the demise of the cotton industry led to the demolition of the large sandstone mill structures (Phase 2). This demolition allowed the construction of tenement houses on the site (Phase 3). The remains of the mill were recorded in the form of substantial sandstone foundations, brick partitions and a brick built chimney in the SW of the site. Evidence relating to the tenement housing consisted of concrete foundations and brick interior walls, which in several places had truncated the mill features.
