Queens Park works of The North British Locomotive Co. Founded in 1903 as a result of an amalgamation of a number of smaller companies, this plant originally being owned by Dubs and Co. They not only built locomotives for the UK but exported worldwide. Sadly the companies fortunes declined during the late 1950's resulting in closure in 1962. The site is now an industrial estate. |

Scope and Content Sentinel Works, Nos 63-89 Jessie Street, Glasgow, South Lanarkshire This works was built from 1903-14 for Alley & McLellan Ltd, who had been founded in Polmadie Road in about 1880. The firm made air compressors, valves, marine auxiliaries and shallow-draught ships, which were dismantled for shipment. This shows the frontage of the works to Jessie Street, from the south-west. The four-storeyed building on the left was designed by Archibald Leitch, architect, as offices and pattern shop, and built in 1903. It was the first large reinforced concrete building in Glasgow. This works became famous as the place where the Sentinel steam lorry was developed in 1904-6, and where it was made until a works was established in 1916-17 at Shrewsbury specifically to make these vehicles. The parent firm was taken over by Beardmores, and made air compressors until the early 1960s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN. |
