Abstract: |
A programme of works consisting of a watching brief and follow-on excavation was carried out in advance of the construction of a Paddlesports Centre at Pinkston Basin. The excavation recorded the remains of three buildings and extensive cobbled surfaces. One building was in existence by 1857 and was a sandstone structure containing coke kilns and a chimney. This building corresponds to the plan layout of a building depicted on the 1857 OS Town Plan, forming part of the complex named as the Monkland Iron Depot. This had been demolished by 1913. Two later buildings, in existence by 1913, comprise a brick-built structure and a possibly open-sided structure. These may have been warehouses or storage facilities for the Pinkston Power Station. |
