Desk Based Assessment (6 June 2016)
Nothing is visible on an area of the south bank of the River Clyde now occupied by a company dealing in the export of ferrous and non-ferrous metal (John R Adam and Sons Ltd) of the timber depot depicted on the revised 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Renfrewshire 1915, Sheet VIII.SE). This shows the yard to have been over 9ha in size and fronting on to the western part of the recently constructed Shieldhall Wharf.
