Clydebridge Steelworks

Another vehicle entrance with a weighbridge at the west side of the site leading onto Cambuslang Road near Farme Cross is not in regular use – an asphalt concrete coating plant (Tillicountry Quarries Clydebridge) is located there.

[23] In the 2010s, the vicinity of this entrance consisted of several large warehouses, some of which were subsequently vacated and demolished in anticipation of the construction of a new retail development adjacent to the motorway junction.

The project, named Two74,[24][25] has faced delays in its planning process;[26] by late 2019, the proposals included a large TopGolf driving range complex.

This site was chosen as it offered access to the railway, a source of water for cooling processes, a potential link to the river for transportation, had spare ground for waste products and future expansions, and was very close to the existing iron works producing the raw metal, and also near to numerous local collieries who provided the fuel for the furnaces.

The downscaled facility nowadays stands amidst an extensive area of brownfield woodland and scrub which conceals the railway sidings, industrial waste and debris of the demolished elements of the works.

This large mound – around the same height as the plate mill shed - no longer serves any practical purpose following the closure of the ironworks and the downscaling of the steelworks, and has since been reclaimed by nature.
