Old Photograph Lochwinnoch Scotland
Old photograph of Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire near Glasgow, Scotland. In 1795, there were nine mills located in Lochwinnoch and the village was developed mainly to accommodate the workers. This Scottish village was largely a planned community, rather than one evolving over time. Furniture makers also established in the village in the 19th century, and Lochwinnoch made furniture was to be found on the great Clyde built liners such as the Lusitania, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and even the RMS Titanic. It is now chiefly a residential dormitory village serving nearby urban centres such as Glasgow and Paisley.
