Activities

Watching Brief (January 2016)

NS 5946 6660 A watching brief was undertaken, January 2016, during site investigation works for a mixed use development at Port Dundas. The canal basin, which is a scheduled monument (6689), was backfilled by c1960, and dates to the second half of the 19th century. The site

investigation established that:

The base of the cooling tower for the power station was made of 0.35m of reinforced concrete, overlying the existing canalside infrastructure, some of which appeared to survive below the tower base.

The possible second cooling tower shown on the land registry title deeds was not present.

The basin itself was backfilled with made ground.

The warf sides and probable remains of the coke kilns were preserved across most of their original footprint. They survived at a depth of c0.15–0.80m below the current ground surface.
