M74 - Scotland - Dig Talks
#1
M74 Dig Talks

A series of free Saturday morning talks focussing on the main archaeological sites along the route will be held at the M74 Dig Discovery Centre. The archaeology being uncovered at each site will be discussed in relation similar sites in the city and collections of finds in Glasgow’s museums by a variety of speakers. Each talk will focus on one of the three main sites on the route: the Pollokshaws Road Tenements site, the Govan Ironworks and the Caledonian Pottery. A question and answer session will be held at the end of each talk, and there will be a chance to see recent finds.

Saturday 24 November 10.15-12.25 – Subject: Pollokshaws Road Tenements Site

The Tenements site is located between Eglinton Street and Pollokshaws Road and comprises two blocks of 19th century tenements. The earliest development on the site is Rosehill, comprising two early 18th century tenement buildings on Pollokshaws Road, which had spiral staircases to the rear. The site also contained Queen’s Park Terrace on Eglinton Street, designed by Alexander ‘Greek’ Thompson, the foundations of which are yet to be uncovered. As well as the remains of tenement houses and a church, evidence of small-scale industrial activity such as a cooperage has been uncovered.

The talk will consist of an introduction to tenement life in Glasgow, from Lorna Hepburn, the Property Manager for the National Trust Tenement House. Fiona Hayes from Glasgow Museums will then discuss the Museum’s social history collections. The final part of the talk will be from Mike Bardill, the site director of the Tenements site, who will discuss the excavations so far and what finds have been found.

Saturday 8 December 10.15-12.25 – Subject: Caledonian Pottery

The Caledonian Pottery was located on Farmeloan Road, Rutherglen from 1870 until 1929. The pottery produced various stoneware items, including a range of embossed, leaf-patterned tableware in ‘translucent green glaze’, teapots, acid jars, cream jars and, latterly, Hartley’s jam jars. Parts already uncovered include the bases of kilns, underground brick flues, a series of linear brick lined sunken structures containing thick clay deposits, evidence for clay storage and a short gauge rail line. Pottery dumps at the site have also been investigated: these are extensive and contain pottery and saggar wasters, and fuel and kiln waste up to 10m in depth.

The talk will consist of an introduction to Glasgow’s potteries in the latter half of the nineteenth century by Henry Kelly, chairman of the Scottish Pottery Society. Alison Brown from Glasgow Museums will then discuss the Museum’s Scottish pottery collection, and Katinka Stencroft will discuss the Museum’s industrial period pottery collection. The final part of the talk will be from Candy Hatherley, the site director of the Calendonian Pottery site, who will discuss the excavations so far and what finds have been found.

Saturday 15 December 10.15-12.25 – Subject: Govan Ironworks

The Govan Ironworks, popularly known as 'Dixon’s Blazes', was founded in 1837 by William Dixon for the manufacture of bar iron and the production of iron castings for steam engines and general engineering products. Two areas of the ironworks are being investigated: the Foundry and the Lower English Buildings, two ranges of domestic buildings, between the Foundry and Cathcart Road. The foundry comprised boilers, an engine house, a turning shop, a fitting shop, a moulding shop, a pattern shop, a boiler shop, a smithy and banks of coke kilns and tanks. It is assumed that the Lower English Buildings these buildings represent workers’ housing and associated outhouses built by Dixon for his workforce.

The talk will consist of an introduction to iron founding in the west of Scotland from 1830 to 1914, from John Hume, the chairman of the Royal Commission. David Mitchell from Historic Scotland will then discuss Glasgow Architectural Iron Founders. The final part of the talk will be from Dan Atkinson, the site director of the Ironworks site, who will discuss the excavations so far and what finds have been found.

The talks will all take place at the M74 Dig Discovery Centre at Scotland Street School Museum. Please click here for access information. (Link to venue details: http://www.glasgowmuseums.com/venue/deta...venueid=12)
