London and Glasgow Shipbuilding Company, also known as the London and Glasgow Engineering and Iron Shipbuilding Company, was a shipbuilding firm established in 1864 by a consortium of London bankers, including the Glasgow engineer James Rodger.
London & Glasgow Engineering and Iron Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. also bought land at Lancefield on the northern side of the River Clyde and established a boiler workshop there.
The company was very successful at the Middleton Yard, building numerous ships, including many for the Cunard Line, such as the SS Carinthia and SS Sylvania, both launched in 1895.
Many ships were also built for the Royal Navy at the Middleton Yard; amongst them was the 10,000 ton HMS Roxburgh, a first class armoured cruiser launched in January 1904.
Another ship built for the Royal Navy was HMS Cumberland, a cruiser launched in December 1902.
