Meadowside Granary

The granary closed in 1988 and was demolished in 2002; the site is now occupied by part of the Glasgow Harbour re-development.

Both it and the adjacent Meadowside Quay were built by Glasgow engineer William Alston for the Clyde Navigation Trust between 1911 and 1913.

During construction, damage was caused by a severe storm on 27 November 1912 that blew down four cranes at the site.

[2] After opening, Meadowside became the most important grain store in the United Kingdom during World War I.

[3] Port operators Clydeport[nb 2] was taken over in 2003 by the Peel Group,[5] who subsequently used the land for the first phase of the Glasgow Harbour regeneration project.
