  • Port Glasgow in the 18Th Century Stuart Nisbet
    RLHF Journal Vol.3 (1991/2) 3. The Growth of Port Glasgow in the 18th Century Stuart Nisbet The importance of Port Glasgow in its role as Glasgow's early sea port is undeniable. However most general histories of Glasgow have concentrated on the port’s through trade and paid little attention to the town or its people. Despite being administered from Glasgow, Port Glasgow has a rich history of its own, which has been largely ignored to date (1). Recently a detailed study of the town’s feuars has provided an insight into its early development and its people. The 18th century growth of Port Glasgow is illustrated in Figure 1, summarised in three main phases. From its founding in 1668 right on the shore, houses gradually spread up Custom House Lane. From 1675 breast work was built along the sea to the west and warehouses and cellars established to serve shipping (2). The town's early rate of growth was remarkable. In the period from 1700 to 1780 the population doubled every two decades (3). The second phase of growth was the general development inland up narrow lanes and closes from the Breast towards King Street. The original expansion around Custom House lane had been haphazard, but from 1718 a planned layout was established, with the building of the first church. Kirk Street leading from the shore to the church, together with King Street at right angles, formed the basis for Glasgow Council's grid plan of the town. Town planning was often enforced in a retrospective manner, such as in 1677 when several unauthorised buildings were taken down 'to allow those who have feued to build' (4).

  • Headington, Bridge of Weir
    M209 Headington, Bridge of Weir Introduction This large, L-shaped, roughcast detached house with curved gabled dormers derived from 17th-century Scottish vernacular architecture, is located in the affluent Renfrewshire commuter village of Bridge of Weir. It was built for Alfred Allison Todd, partner in Dunn & Todd, a Glasgow firm of chartered accountants. Authorship: Drawings showing a slightly different treatment of the house were in Mackintosh's possession at the time of his death, and suggest that he contributed to an early stage of the design process. The plan, materials and historical references have parallels with Windyhill and The Hill House, but the house was built according to drawings signed by John Keppie, and it seems likely that Keppie had overall control of the design. Alternative names: Easter Hill; Easterhill. Cost from job book: £2899 4s 8d Status: Standing building Current name: Easterhill Current use: Residential (2014) Listing category: B: Listed as 'Easterhill' Historic Scotland/HB Number: 12775 RCAHMS Site Number: NS36SE 74 Grid reference: NS 39620 64997 Chronology 1902 April: Earliest date on drawings submitted to County of Renfrew Second or Lower District Master of Works department. 1 8 May: Contractor tenders accepted. 2 14 May: Application to build submitted to County of Renfrew Second or Lower District. 3 13 June: Plans approved by County of Renfrew Second or Lower District. 4 1905 20 April: Final payments to main contractors. 5 Description Origin and names Alfred Todd commissioned John Honeyman & Keppie to design a cottage at Bridge of Weir in 1898. However, that project appears to have been abandoned following the tendering process.
