Desk Based Assessment (14 July 2017)
The Meadowside Quay was located on the north bank of the River Clyde, and built in stages extending eastwards over time. The first part, which was completed in 1907 and is depicted on the 3rd edition of the OS 25-inch map (Lanarkshire 1913, 006.0), ran between the Partick Sawmills (NS56NW 510) on the W and the Meadowside Shipbuilding Yard (NS56NE 2569) on the E. The quay, dotted with mooring posts and bucket elevators (later pneumatic suction elevators), served the Meadowside Granary (NS56NE 54) which was built in 1914, extended in 1937, 1960 and 1966, and demolished in 2002-3. Today, the Meadowside Quay Walk runs along the old quayside.
