Hallside Steel Works, Newton, Lanarkshire This was the first large-scale steel works in Scotland, founded in 1871 by the Steel Company of Scotland. This became part of Colvilles Ltd in the 1930s, and was converted to make alloy steels by Clyde Alloy Ltd in 1959. This view shows the building latterly used as the pattern shop and joiners' shop, immediately north of the entrance. Before the works was converted into an alloy steel works it made some very large steel castings, hence the size of the pattern shop. Clyde Alloy Ltd was a Colville subsidiary set up in 1936 to make stainless and other alloy steels. The conversion of Hallside to make such steels was a reflection of growing demand in the post-war period. The works closed c.1979. Above 2 pics donated by John McGhee Jan 05

Lid Lifter	Some of the following were donated by Colin Findlay - Sep 2002. He says, "Here are a few photos of Clydebridge Steelworks - photos of the 1916, 1921-1960 and 1961-1981 Plate Mills and one of the cooling floor in June 1981. I was a mechanical engineer in Clydebridge, finally Plate Mill engineer in 1980. I have a lot of information and photos and have been slowly writing a history of the place. I would be interested in any extra information anyone else has."cfindlay @ worldonline.co.uk

Plate Mill June 1973	1922 Donated by Brian Maclure whose gradfather was A Woods Nov 02	Courtesy of Evening Times June 2005	Courtesy of Evening Times Jun 2005	This works was founded in 1788, but was thereafter rebuilt several times. It took its latterly existing form from the late 1930s, when the first large mechanically-charged blast-furnace was constructed. Rebuilding was completed in the 1950s. This view shows the blast-furnace plant from Clydebridge Steel Works, Number one furnace is on the right, with two and three to the left. The silver towers are hot-blast stoves. The cooling tower served the works power station. The works closed in 1978, as Clydebridge Steel Works, the main customer for its pig iron, was closed as part of the British Steel Corporation's programme of phasing out open-hearth steelmaking. It has since been demolished.	Clyde Iron Works with Hoover building in foreground 1975
