Old Photograph Crofthead Mill Scotland

Old photograph of Crofthead Mill in Neilston, East Renfrewshire near Glasgow, Scotland. Crofthead Mill, known locally as Neilston Mill, was established in 1792. It was one of seven large cotton mills on the banks of the River Levern between Neilston and Dovecothall. Because of the large size of the complex, coupled with its short distance from the main residential core of Neilston, it was described in 1830, at the peak of the industry's prosperity, as " a little town of its self.
