Description

Hamiltonhill Basin Workshops, located on Applecross Street by the Forth and Clyde Canal in Glasgow, date back to the late 18th century and have undergone later alterations. This two-storey workshop range features 19 bays and is constructed from white painted rubble, with an irregular pattern of windows. The western section consists of 7 bays and is taller, while the eastern end has a narrower 12-bay section, showcasing projecting stone cills and margins, some of which are arched. At the southwest corner, there is a timber boarded former clock housing topped with a pediment and finial. The rear elevation includes a random rubble and brick buttress wall, with three slender brick stacks at the center. The eastern section is covered with grey slates, while the taller western end has a mix of glazed and sheet materials. The windows exhibit various glazing patterns, including multi-pane timber and side-hung metal casements, with some rear windows featuring security bars.

Inside, the ground floor was observed in 2013, revealing a simple layout with later modifications such as brick support columns and asbestos cladding on the ceiling.
