' Wood's Mill, No 60 James Street, Glasgow This mill was built c.1834 for Francis Wood & Co, cotton spinners and power-loom cloth manufacturers, and was probably the first integrated cotton spinning and weaving unit in Glasgow. This shows part of the rear of the building in course of demolition. The nearly square window openings are characteristic of east end mills of the period 1810-50. The wooden floors were supported on wooden beams and cast iron columns. The works was converted to a cabinet works in 1888-9 for George Taggart & Co, who seem to have installed a sprinkler system for fire control, with a water tower. Its demolition in 1967 was part of the creation of a Comprehensive Development Area. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN. '
