Name and dates

City of Glasgow Grain Mills and Stores

Served by the Port Dundas Branch (Caledonian Railway).

Description

A long row of tall former grain mills are located on North Spiers Wharf (the portion running north from Port Dundas) sandwiched between the canal (to the west) and Craighall Road (to the east). To the south was the canal company office and to the north the Port Dundas Sugar Refinery. The mills were built for John Currie & Co.. A siding, the furthest part of the Port Dundas Branch (Caledonian Railway), served the quayside outside the mills. The mill buildings still stand having been converted into flats in the late 1980s.
